Wednesday.

Startup law isn’t the most glamorous topic - until you wish you’d known it sooner👀

On April 28th, we’re opening the doors to one of our Meet The Founders events, and you don’t need to be part of the mentoring program to join✨

Together with our long-time partner we’re spending the evening with Johanna Rantanen, Founding Partner and Head of Tech & IP, unpacking the legal essentials every fresh startup founder should know. Think key frameworks, common pitfalls, and the stuff nobody tells you until it’s too late⚖️

Expect delicious food & drinks, great conversations, networking, and a peek into what the mentoring program is really like🤭

Event info:
📅 Tuesday 28.4.2026

We’ve been keeping a little secret and now we can finally share it🙊

The Database podcast is evolving and stepping into its next chapter as Founder Frequency🎙️

This rebrand is more than just a new name. It’s about creating a space that feels more honest, more human, and more reflective of what building actually looks like. The non-linear paths, the moments of doubt, and the courage it takes to keep going anyway.

Hosted by the brilliant Caitie Santo, Founder Frequency brings forward conversations with founders, operators, and builders across the ecosystem, going beyond polished stories and into the real side of building. The kind of conversations that remind you there’s no one right way to do this, and that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start✨

This podcast is a space for everyone curious about building something, already in it, or finding their way into the ecosystem💜

First episodes drop next Wednesday, we can’t wait for you to tune in🎧

Let’s be honest, VC cases can feel a bit intimidating. But they really don’t have to.

So that’s why, together with .official, we’re hosting a VC Case Cracking evening. During the event we’ll break down how Venture Capital decisions actually get made, and show that you don’t have to feel intimidated💛

First we’ll hear a panel from Veera Pietikäinen (Cloudberry VC), Meri Heikkinen (Unmanned VC) and Tiina Erho (Scale Capital) on how they got into VC and what they actually look for when evaluating early-stage startups💡

Then it’s your turn. You’ll work through a real seed/series A case in teams, build your investment case, decide whether you’d invest or pass, and get feedback directly from the VCs in the room👩‍💻

Not something you get to experience every day..🫢

Event details:
📅Monday 30.3.
⏰17:30
📍Startup Sauna

Spots are limited, so grab yours via the link in bio. The event is catered for women and non-binary individuals.

As our birthday party gets closer, we wanted to celebrate the people who actually made these past three years what they are: our community💜

So we created the wednesday. yearbook, a space where you can add your photo, share event memories, and discover the people who make wednesday. what it is✨

Claim your spot in the wednesday. yearbook via the link in our bio📙

And one more important detail for our birthday party coming up: the dress code🤭

The theme is ”nowhere to wear”. That outfit you absolutely love but somehow never have the right occasion for. Now is the time🪩

At wednesday., Women’s Day happens every day.

For us, supporting women and non-binary people in entrepreneurship isn’t a once-a-year moment. It’s simply what we do. Through our community, mentoring programs and events, we work to make entrepreneurship feel more accessible, more welcoming and more possible💜

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of bringing incredible women onto our stages to share their journeys, lessons and honest experiences on entrepreneurship. At the same time, we’ve been inspired by so many others who are doing important work across the ecosystem. Today feels like a good moment to celebrate them💌

In the next picture we’ll be mentioning some of the women who have inspired our community, shared their stories, and are doing important work to move the ecosystem forward. Just a few of many there, tag someone in the comments that should be mentioned too🫶

The momentum behind female entrepreneurship is also clearly visible in the newly released Female Innovation Index 2026, which shows encouraging progress across Europe. We’ve highlighted a few of the key insights from the report in this carousel🌟

There is still work to do, but the direction is promising. Female entrepreneurship in Europe is growing and creating real impact. We’re proud to be building a community that contributes to an ecosystem where women and non-binary people have the opportunity to build, grow, and truly thrive. Every day of the week.
