Come say hi to us tomorrow! Looking forward to meeting new faces and catching up with familiar ones at Helsinki Think Company space in Think Corner 🌟. See you there!
🗨️ "We want to set an example that it is possible to become an entrepreneur from the academic community." The story of the Three Mushketeers started in the University of Helsinki, where the founding members met each other. The trio then participated in an idea accelerator called Ruokis arranged by Helsinki Think Company where they started to develop a business idea related to food innovation. The use of scientific expertise in developing the business was important to the entrepreneurs from the start. The company was set up, and later the group received a grant from University of Helsinki Funds and Think Company Fund, to take their innovation even further. Now the company is looking forward to the community event ‘Been There, Done That’! The founders want to be able to encourage and inspire others with their business ideas. You can hear more about their story this Thursday on 31st of October from 5pm at Helsinki Think Company in Think Corner. In addition to Three Mushketeers, you will hear about the alumni founders from Y4 Works and Sustashift! You can find the link to sign up for the event here: https://lnkd.in/dY_drJQV Putting academic knowledge into practice is at the heart of everything Helsinki Think Company does, and for already 10 years we have inspired the academic community towards entrepreneurship. Have a look at our impact report page to find more career and alumni stories! https://lnkd.in/d6Y_bEri 💡 “Haluamme olla esimerkkinä siitä, että yrittäjäksi lähteminen akateemiselta puolelta on mahdollista.” Three Mushketeers lähti liikkeelle yliopiston akateemisesta yhteisöstä, jossa perustajajäsenet tapasivat toisensa. Silloinen kolmikko osallistui Helsinki Think Companyn Ruokis-ideakiihdyttämöön, jossa he alkoivat kehittää yritysideaa liittyen ruokainnovaatioon. Tieteellisen osaamisen hyödyntäminen yrityksen kehittämisessä oli yrittäjille alusta alkaen tärkeää. Yritys laitettiin pystyyn, ja myöhemmin he saivat yliopiston rahastolta sekä Think Company Fundilta apurahan, joiden avulla he pystyivät kehittämään innovaatiota entistä pidemmälle. Nyt yrityksessä odotetaan innoissaan Been There, Done That -yhteisötapahtumaa! Yrityksen perustajat haluavat päästä rohkaisemaan ja inspiroimaan muita heidän yritysideoissaan. Pääset tutustumaan heidän tarinaan tänä torstaina 31.10. klo 17 alkaen Tiedekulman toisessa kerroksessa Helsinki Think Companyn toimitiloissa. Three Mushketeersin lisäksi tapahtumassa kuullaan Y4Worksin ja Sustashiftin yrittäjien tarinasta! Juuri akateemisen osaamisen käytäntöön laittaminen on Helsinki Think Companyn kaiken toiminnan keskiössä, ja jo kymmenen vuotta olemme inspiroineet opiskelijoita ja tutkijoita kohti yrittäjyyttä. Tutustu kiinnostaviin uratarinoihin ja alumniyrityksiimme myös vaikuttavuusraportissamme!

Exciting Team Update! 🎉 Throughout our journey, we’ve occasionally heard suggestions that our founding team might benefit from a business expert—someone who could help us build and grow even further. For a long time, we waited for the perfect fit. This spring, we met Aizea, and after a “dating period” over the summer, it became clear that we had found the perfect match. We’re thrilled to announce that our team of three Musketeers, Emma, Emmi and Ida, has officially become four—with Aizea as our very own D'Artagnan 😉 Now, with our crew complete, we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next! 🛸

These days, it feels extra special to hold a physical magazine in your hands—especially when it features your company! Over the summer, we were interviewed by Elintarviketieteiden Seura | Finnish Society of Food Science and Technology and Suomen Kuvalehti, and now both articles have been published. They highlight our latest updates, with Suomen Kuvalehti focusing on several innovations around what the future holds for mushrooms. And we’re not the only ones from University of Helsinki featured! 👉 If you want to have a deeper look, find the links to the articles in the comments

Our new Tempo project has officially kicked off, thanks to a generous grant from Business Finland! The primary goal of this project is to pave the way for our internationalization efforts, with a special focus on pilots and networks across the Nordic countries, especially Sweden 🌍🤝 Currently, we are piloting right here in Finland, but our eyes are already set on expanding our reach. We are actively seeking contacts and potential piloting partners abroad to join us on this exciting journey. If you are interested in collaboration or know someone who might be, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Have three months ever gone this fast? We had the pleasure of having Kristina Lumani as part of our team during her traineeship. Note to the food industry: Don't miss out on talented scientist like her! 🔬 🥼 Here are some of Kristina's thoughts from her traineeship: “A heartfelt thank you to the fantastic team at Three Mushketeers and a special shoutout to their COO, Emmi Korjus, whose mentorship and encouragement have greatly contributed to my professional development. I gained valuable experience in product development, sensory evaluation, extrusion, and pilot sampling distribution. Looking forward to leveraging my newfound knowledge and experiences in my next role within the food industry!” #traineeship #foodscience #innovation
