tbc(afé): Helsinki
The Bridge Café: Helsinki
Come join us in Helsinki for the Finnish edition of the Bridge café!
This is a day designed for people who are seriously thinking about starting a global tech company, or are already taking their first steps.
The goal is to help you make progress on the key questions that matter early on. eg: How do you meet the right co-founder, how can you tell if an idea is worth pursuing, how should you think about building something that could eventually live in a much bigger arena, including the US.
Bring your laptop. Sit down with other people who are actively working on ideas. Share what you’re building, talk it through, push something, or get clarity on what to do next.
We’ll bring strong coffee, pastries, solid wifi, and a few honest conversations.
The format
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Open café
If selected, drop in anytime for coffee or a light bite.
This is an open, working afternoon. You can focus on your own project or explore ideas with others in the room. The team behind The Bridge San Francisco residency will be there all afternoon to listen, answer questions, and offer direct, practical advice.
It’s deliberately hands-on and informal. Think of it as a temporary work café for people who want to start now, not a typical startup event.
You’ll be surrounded by others who are actively building. Sometimes that’s how co-founders meet :)
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM | Sprint talks + Q&A + drinks
Instead of long panels, we’ll run short, practical talks with plenty of time for questions.
Speakers will be announced shortly and will include Bridge alumni, alongside operators and partners from top startups.
Expect very honest answers on:
How to get started properly, from idea to co-founder
Whether The Bridge could be a fit for you
Building between Europe and San Francisco
Getting your first customers
The mistakes that end most startups before they really begin
From The Bridge, with love <3
