This weeks Startup Journey was all about planning ahead. Making deadlines and roadmap for the first versions of product. Aim of the week was to give the teams an idea how to plan towards their product launches.

We started the week with a prototyping workshop with Ville Taajamaa

Tuesday we continued with a keynote about MVP Roadmap and 1-on-1 sessions with Carl Kempedorf, Founder of Vessla (Oulu based company that makes totally wireless (WiFi/4G) and cordless IoT-displays).

Wednesday we had gaming track coaching session for our gaming teams from Mariina Hallikainen who is the CEO of Colossal Order, known for their hit game Cities: Skylines that has sold over 3.5 million copies. Mariina talked about leadership within game companies. Mariina also did 1-on-1 meetings with the teams where our new coming game development prospects had awesome advice how to take first steps.

During the week Entis took part in Junior Achievement European Championships. Iida from Entis won JA Alumni Leadership Award (Iida second with the diploma from right).

As part of the program we also had metrics session and BBQ session with Korento Bikes on Thursday. Also on Friday we had pitching session where we perfected our stage performances with pitching coach Joonas Korgan from Identio (Startup Journey winner 2015).
