The Helsinki Meet-up: The Aftermath

I'm pleased to report that no one dressed up in coveralls and hats at the TC/CG Helsinki meet-up at A21 . The turnout was fantastic - about 100 or so folks at 8pm on a Tuesday - and everyone either worked for Nokia, contracted for Nokia, or sold their children into servitude in Nokia's diamond mines in the heart of Northern Troll country. Special thanks to F-Secure, the anti-virus company and the Mothership herself for sponsoring a few hours of drinks. I heard a lot of great pitches - please send me more information when you get settled - and met a lot folks who were quite excited about start-ups and the start-up scene. Special thanks to Ville and the boys at Arctic Startup , the TechCrunch of the Tundra. Click through for some pictures and look for more information about these great folks in the next few weeks.
