Entrepreneur & Keynote Speaker. Building the next big thing in Creativity & Culture.

🎃 Huge shoutout to Arcada Entrepreneurship Society and @Haaga-Helia’s Xes Helsinki for hosting the Haunted Ventures event—a Halloween-themed startup gathering that delved deep into the dark side of entrepreneurship! We uncovered the real-life horror stories behind the startup grind, where the thrills of ambition sometimes collide with the chilling realities of business. Seeing the different societies come together with such passion and drive was truly inspiring, showing just how powerful our grassroots entrepreneurship scene is. I was grateful to join forces with Wouter Beerden and Sina Rahimi, sharing some of my own horror stories gathered over years of navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. As I opened up, I shared this thought: “As a founder, I’ve faced everything from unpredictable markets and tight budgets to the gut-wrenching challenges of failed projects, bankruptcies, and teams that didn’t make it through. I’ve had to adapt, pivot, and learn—often the hard way. Once, I stumbled across a quote that really resonated: 'What’s the bravest thing you ever said?' asked the boy. 'Help,' said the horse. 'Asking for help isn’t giving up,' said the horse, 'it’s refusing to give up.' I realized then that being creative, being a founder, is about being brave enough to ask for help. I’m not alone in these challenges, and I’m certainly not the first to stumble.” Here’s to the fearless spirit in all of us, facing the unknown and embracing the journey together. #HauntedVentures #Entrepreneurship #Startups #Grassroots
