I already told this to vilpponen directly, but it's wonderful to see that this particular company is being discussed out in the public finally. Finland has (had) this weird culture where you can't publicly criticize a person who's achieved a certain "position" in the minds of masses - Mr. Ollila being one of them. I think not only is this a great lesson about funding "air" but also how the Finnish society is changing.
Happy to be a part of the change through Startup Sauna. Hopefully we can "fix" this sinking boat during the coming years.
