The event was a great networking opportunity for budding entrepreneurs, start-up enthusiasts, and individual talents who are looking to team up. The event opened with a brief introduction about NewCo Helsinki for the first time visitors. NewCo Helsinki is a relatively new service entity established in the year 2014 by City of Helsinki. It aims to support aspiring entrepreneurs and to make their initial journey towards establishing a business less stressful.
Trying to establish a new business can be an uphill battle. NewCo Helsinki offers a platter of varied services for budding and aspiring entrepreneurs. It was followed by start-ups and budding entrepreneurs pitching their businesses for potential business partners and/or team members.
We had some really exciting start-ups pitching for team members like Dalledog Oy and JollyDragon. There were also entrepreneurs looking for business partners and like-minded individuals to team up with. We had about 8 presentations from start-ups and entrepreneurs pitching for team members in total. The event was then open for networking. We hope that the event resulted in some good finds and matches!
