"In 2019, two young entrepreneurs walked into my office. I wasn't deeply familiar with the industry they were targeting, but I immediately noticed the "spark" in their eyes," writes Leigh Ewin, community manager at A Grid, in the blog text he was inspired to write after A Grid's Success Day. 💎 At the September event we heard what have been the startups' steps to success. Thanks again to all the startups and guests being part of the A Grid Success Day. The story of Foodello - Fiksuruoka.fi and Juhani Järvensivu is one of the most intresting ones, you can read it on Leigh's blog! 🗼
