The ainoo. team

Our story

Born and raised in Lahti, the four of us study together on a program focused on social sciences and economics. Having volunteered at Slush, all four of us felt the startup world come much closer, and we wanted to be part of it even more. When we started the school’s entrepreneurship course, we didn’t have an idea yet, only an agreement that whatever we came up with, we would actually build. The idea came during the course, and following it has taken us deep into building a company of our own. Our goal now is to make people’s daily lives easier, letter by letter.

The young minds making it happen.
