Henri Haaksiala - Entrepreneurship as a lifestyle

Entrepreneurship and the art of building companies have always, since a teenager in Espoo, been my unwavering passion. I'm wholeheartedly committed to collaborating with fellow founders, offering my expertise in roles such as an advisor, co-founder, consultant, or assisting in the critical task of securing financing. With more than a decade of entrepreneurial experience under my belt, my journey has been a captivating blend of triumphs and challenges. I've ridden the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship, from exhilarating highs to enduring periods where I found myself below the poverty line.

​

"My path in entrepreneurship diverges from the typical "hero founder" narrative, and I firmly believe that my unique experiences make my insights especially valuable to other founders."

​

-Henri Haaksiala (vuoden 2023 lopussa)

​

I've personally delved into the intricate world of startup financing, successfully securing two venture-backed financing rounds for my own startup. My prowess in the art of pitching has been honed on prestigious and global stages, including the highly regarded Slush100 competition and TechChill. Moreover, I've skillfully navigated negotiations with various stakeholders, from angel investors and syndicates to venture capitalists, thoroughly understanding their intricacies and expectations. On top of these accomplishments, my ability to secure nearly a million euros in public funding, comprising grants and R&D loans, underscores my proficiency in dealing with bureaucratic processes and harnessing invaluable resources to drive startup growth.

​

"When Henri is around, you can see a lot of things happening. Whether sales or operations, Henri shows his talents as a founder for excelling in both."

Suomessa suomeksi

Eli vaikka nämä sivut ovat esimerkiksi avattu vuonna 2023 englanniksi, ajattelin lisätä myös infoa suomeksi. Olen tehnyt yli kaksi kertaa enemmän projekteja suomenkielisille asiakkaille ja tämän vuoden missio on kasvattaa myös ulkomaan myyntiä yli kaksi kertaa suuremaksi myös suomenkieliset projektit kiinnostavat edelleen vuonna 2024.

Vuoden toisella kvartaalilla avaan tähän rinnalle toiset
