Getting Your First Customers

Anyone willing to follow in the footsteps of Finland’s best entrepreneurs and founders — let alone the world — has some big shoes to fill.

We bring you Johanna Småros, Co-founder at RELEX Solutions, and Maija Itkonen, Co-founder of Powerkiss, Gold & Green, and Onego Bio. These two successful founders will be interviewed by Mari Luukkainen, founder of Herizon and Principal at Icebreaker.vc, and share what it’s like to be in their shoes, along with their best practices for getting your first customers.

Bigger Shoes is an event series that brings the biggest and boldest entrepreneurs in Finland and neighboring countries to you so you can learn from their successes and failures. Get ready for inspiring talks and fireside chats, challenging questions, and tasty bites, and don’t hurry home afterward — if you stick around for some networking, you might just meet your future co-founder.

In need of some ECTS? By attending all nine sessions of Bigger Shoes, you can earn one credit. More information at avp.aalto.fi/bigger-shoes.
