CEO KARI AHO, SECAPP COMMUNICATIONS

”During meetings, the program leaders would seriously challenge us and gave us valuable insight into what would best attract the interest of investors in our business. The organizers of Venture Academy have tremendous personal business skills and, above all else, plenty of networks directly with potential partners. We have had tangible introductions to the wider world through them.”
