Do you think you’re too young to build a startup?

In the next founder’s story, Annika Lundström will share her journey from being a molecular bioscience student at the University of Helsinki to developing her early-stage startup in Silicon Valley at 24 years of age. ⚡️

In today’s world, mental health has emerged as a global issue. There is an urgent need for the development of innovative tools and technologies to specifically address the evolving challenges in mental health. 🧠

Her startup has developed a portable, non-invasive device that detects saliva biomarkers related to stress and cognitive function and measures cardiovascular fitness using AI. This provides mental healthcare providers with real-time, objective data on a patient's health, leading to better diagnoses, personalized treatments, and more precise medication recommendations. 💡

Join us on June 24th at 18:00 in Startup Sauna to hear her inspiring story.

With AI, nerds are back more than ever in the center of startups. This is bad for Finland since (most) Finnish nerds are still wary of startups.

Luckily some grassroots startup positive hacker communities are starting to pop up. Shoutout to Buildit by @ErnestiSario and @aaltoes

[Patrik Holopainen @holosome]

Great convo (in Finnish) with Hanna Männikkölahti about @opeton_hq and why it works for learning a language

[SILTA @silta_hq]

Founder-led sales is a great concept but hiring a Head of Sales from the beginning can also work out pretty well. Thanks @levie for the session!

[Aaltoes @aaltoes]
