Before It Was About Playing In A Band, Now It's About Being An Entrepreneur
Grand One 2009, a competition for the Finnish new media scene to showcase their year’s work, came and went. As we wrote earlier on, we got an invitation to partner with Grand One since they want to push the event forward every year and be on the pulse of all things digital, which is nothing short of admirable. This time being on the pulse meant to invite startups to the competition. This was the first time ever! If someone has missed (or ignored) the fact that startups have lately entred the mainstream hear in the Northern Europe and become the cool thing to do, now even they have to recognize the shift: When the marketing scene comes knocking on the door it means you have just hit the mainstreet.
ArcticStartup Partners With Grand One
ArcticStartup has partnered with Grand One, a competition for the Finnish new media scene to shine and glamour with their year's work. We are the chairman of the newly founded category: best startup (Finnish only, sorry).
If you're a Finnish startup, do take part. We managed to negotiate the participation price down to 50€ per company, instead of the 100€ for the other categories. You're asked to create a application page on the web with the necessary details; description of your product or service, the business model you are going after for the money as well as information on the userbase and how you see the market. The finalists will be announced by 6th of March and the winner will be presented in the gala in Apollo Restaurant on the 16th of March.
