Biography
Doctoral research on startup entrepreneurship and the community thereof i.e. the startup-scene. Inspired by my own involvement in the formative times of Boost Turku Entrepreneurship Society 2009 and onward I am now mapping how this scene and culture came to be in Finland and how it is now "exported" to other regions such as East-Asia and Japan in particular under the brand of Slush. Theoretical motivation lies in how such developments over regions and the pertinent institutional ecosystems in place facilitate entrepreneurial innovation.
