“Helsinki Partners is a great organisation. They have always been very proactive in reaching out to introduce us to different companies and invite us to events.”

Tomosaku Sohara, Managing Partner, NordicNinja

“Helsinki Partners is like having a local team member on the ground from day one. I think it’s easy to say that without their support we wouldn’t be this far along and we probably wouldn’t be  in Finland. They truly made it possible. The joke in Finland is that it’s not a country, it’s a country club, and with Helsinki Partners you have someone promoting your membership.”

Shwetank Verma, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Leo Capital
