This week, we had the pleasure of hosting a pitching coaching session for the startups taking the stage at the upcoming Maria 01 NOW International Pitching Competition on June 2nd.

A huge thank you to Aape Pohjavirta for an unforgettable 3-hour session. With his charisma, energy, and deep understanding of the startup ecosystem, Aape challenged founders to think beyond polished slides and focus on what pitching is really about.

Weโ€™re excited to see them put these learnings into action and compete at Maria 01 NOW!

At Rise Finland 2026, entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem players came together around a shared question: what does it take to scale today?

One theme stood out clearly in our CEO Sarita Runeberg's keynote: international growth isn't a future milestone - it's a straight point.

The startups that break through tend to think beyond borders from day one. They design for global markets early, while staying close to local customer needs. They build diverse teams, test fast, and validate before overcommitting.

But strategy alone isnโ€™t what sets them apart. It comes down to mindset.

Too often, we wait until things feel โ€œready.โ€ But in reality, scaling companies are built through early experimentation, learning, and taking risks before there are guarantees.

Thatโ€™s where the real opportunity lies for our ecosystem. And that's something established companies can learn from startups.

If we want to see more globally successful companies emerge, itโ€™s not just about access to capital or networks - itโ€™s about how early weโ€™re willing to step outside our comfort zone.

Still, capital and networks play a crucial role, too. Thatโ€™s exactly why we need platforms like RISE to bring the ecosystem together and enable those connections.
