Interview in Tekes' magazine (in finnish)

image: from "Tekniikan Näköalat" 2/2009

Tekes the Finnish government agency for research and innovation funding is publishing their own paper called "Tekniikan Näköalat" (free translation: "technical perspectives"), they recently interviewed me for their newest issue. Unfortunately the interview is in finnish only, sorry.

You can download the full issue from here, or just my interview part from here.

In the interview I talk about www.runtoshop.com a bit, entrepreneurial risks, my own experiences of going through a bankruptcy and recovering from that (that was back in 2002). I also go into talking about entrepreneurial atmosphere in Finland and the nordics, etc..

The photoshoot for this was fun to do. We went into an old bloody (literally) boxing ring to get a few good shots. I have been training kickboxing and such for a number of years, and somehow the journalists always like the analogy of a boxer to an entrepreneur.. I guess both get regularly beaten ;)
