A New Writer Joins ArcticStartup
I am happy to announce that Karri Saarinen, an entrepreneur, web developer and an economics graduate student joins our ranks at ArcticStartup.
Karri will bring his strong technological understanding to our editorial team. This will enable us to dive even deeper into the technological innovations that the startups we follow bring into the market.
I believe that despite the hardship that the economy's downturn brings with it, it is also a healthy correction for the web 2.0 startup industry, even though this time our industry was not responsible for it like in the 2000s. Thus, I am sure that we will see healthier and more focused startups in the future and that is why we want to make sure ArcticStartup is better equipped than ever to write about the new startups. For this reason, Karri will be a a perfect addition to ArcticStartup team and give us the needed resources to bring you the news on the latest new startups across the Nordic and Baltic countries.
Welcome Karri!





Congrats!
Congrats to Karri.
Seems that there is no limit to the growth of Arctic Startup. :)
[...] some of you already know, I recently joined in the ranks of ArcticStartup. As the same time I though it was the time for my own blog as well. I try to keep the startup news [...]
Thanks Ville and guys. I’m happy to have the opportunity to contribute to the arctic startup scene.
Timo,
It sure seems that way, doesn't it ;)
Karri,
Again, great to have you on board. Welcome!
Why don't you guys bring Timo on board as well? Merge the two main startup blogs. Unless Timo is adamant about staying independent.
Don't know about Timo's ambitions and how adamant he is to stay independent.
The reason why we brought Karri on board was due to a clear need for a very technical person who was also very motivated to work for the cause. We found a good fit between Karri and AS, and felt that the timing was right.
For anyone to join the team the two above mentioned things need to make sense, but given they do, anything is possible.
