Helsinki’s builders are getting together to kick-start the season!

Antler and Aiven are presenting Builders After Hours – a relaxed, selective gathering for aspiring founders, technical leaders, and operators shaping Helsinki’s startup ecosystem.

We’re bringing together an honest fireside chat with top founders who’ve done it:

  • The realities and challenges of scaling a company

  • Hard-earned lessons from the founder journey

  • Failures that shaped their approach to growth

This is an evening for high-signal connections. Grab snacks and drinks, and meet the people, who are as excited about building as you are.

And yes, bring your laptop and vibecode with fellow builders!
