Just like the first day at school

Today we had a meeting with Reino Meriläinen from Isolta, who is going to be our mentor for the next year. We went through the mentoring plan for the coming year and we got super excited about it. They have at the moment four companies to mentor and all of the companies are very different from each other. Which we feel is a great thing, you get different prospects for your idea and get to know other types of companies as well.

During the year we will go through almost every aspects of creating or maintaining a successful company from how to write a business plan to recruiting the right people. We are so lucky to be part of something like this! They are writing articles about the experience and if you interested to read more about the program or their products, check out their blog:

So all and all it was a great day and we couldn't be more happy! Like we talked with Reino today, the startup scene has changed a lot during few years and people are more and more helpful to one another. Everyone is very encouraging and it feels great to get to help out others as well. So now weekend is coming, weather is getting better and better every day and Vappu is just around the corner. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy Vappu and the weather!
