Every Road Leads to Startups
I and DH had the honor to lead the startup tours organized for the international E-Bootcampers.

A few days ago the Aaltoes team made a quick decision: Nippe, Juhana, Juho and Riku will attend TC Disrupt on Sep 12th-14th. We were lucky to have Ramine coach us “a bit“ yesterday.
