Nordic YC Nights [Helsinki] - AMA with YC Founders 🇫🇮
​Thinking about applying to Y Combinator? 🚀
Winter holidays are the perfect time to start building – and the next YC batch applications are opening soon.
​Join us for a tactical & no-fluff session with founders who’ve been through YC. Whether you're already hacking on something or just YC-curious, this event will give you the clarity, motivation, and insider perspective you need to take the next step.
​Our panelists, all YC alumni:
• Otto Söderlund, Speechly (W22)
• Jaakko Rauhala, Kapacity (S21)
• Kristian Ranta, Meru Health (S18)
​Moderated by Slush’s Noora Saksa (CFO/COO)
​They’ll share:
• What actually matters in a YC application
• How to think about ideas, markets, and “being early”
• Common mistakes Nordic founders make
• What surprised them after getting in
• How YC changed their trajectory
​Doors open 18:00, program starts 18:20.
​Pizza offered by Supercell for first come first serve 🍕
​🇫🇮 Maybe you’ll be the next YC founder from Finland ❤️
