The Finnish Startup Community consists of 266 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.We accept growth-minded startups and early-stage investors as official members of the community.
