Big step for the Northern European, Baltic and Russian startup ecosystem. The VCs are putting in an effort to help early stage companies!

Congrats guys - met Zach a couple of days ago as a friend went working for them... these guys will do big things!

Hehe, this is friggin' awesome. The only thing I could think of that who's the first one to go all Deus Ex about this!

I already told this to vilpponen directly, but it's wonderful to see that this particular company is being discussed out in the public finally. Finland has (had) this weird culture where you can't publicly criticize a person who's achieved a certain "position" in the minds of masses - Mr. Ollila being one of them. I think not only is this a great lesson about funding "air" but also how the Finnish society is changing.

Happy to be a part of the change through Startup Sauna. Hopefully we can "fix" this sinking boat during the coming years.

Tallinn and Helsinki truly booming! Garage48 Tartu (http://garage48.org/events) is on next weekend and after that Steve Blank is visiting Finland for a week (www.steveblank.fi). Truly great stuff happening here!

All of the teams really outperfomed themselves - let's what happens to these rockstars in the near future!
