Community members

The Finnish Startup Community consists of 269 different Finnish growth companies from different stages, all the way from early stage startups to the ten biggest Finnish growth companies. The Finnish Startup Community is not an advocacy organization for an individual industry. We believe in the power of doing things together and instead of threats, we see opportunities around us.

Who we are

The community has a CEO and four team members who aim to build public debate around startups, create and analyze new startup data, and organize events relevant to the community members. In addition, the community uses external experts, e.g. promoting legislative projects.

The activities of the community are directed by an active board consisting of representatives elected by the members. The board members are widely committed to advancing the goals of the community.
