One Giant Leap for Womankind
At 8:00 a.m. GMT+2, the engines fire and liisahiltunen.com, and 2-amazing mentors Eeva Siika-aho of Think Company, and Jouni Lounasmaa of Biomedicum Helsinki Foundation, climb into the mentoring program coaching lunar module of Tech Nordic Advocates, and begin the lift off.
49-minutes later, the 3-of-us are talking and are in Earth's orbit. Hiltunen, Lounasmaa and Siika-aho, blast off with ideas clarifying the benchmarking, connections and offering.
FINLAND DOES A GREAT JOB at empowering start-ups, with the Shortcut and Spark Program being the first reminder that challenges can be met when surrounded by the right people.
Women from earth have 'walked on the moon of entrepreneurship', and 'returned safely home', thinks Hiltunen, 'and if they can do it, I can do it too'.
Today, I'm happy for meaningful connections, helpful people, and collaborative brainstorming. It's inspiring to see everyone involved pushing projects forward.
Kiitos, Tech Nordic Advocates, and to the amazing entrepreneurs who generously volunteer your time, your contribution to our projects helps to make a significant difference.
