Since my grandson moved to Turku I feel so lonely

My job is so boring.

Mikko

I want to help these old people

connect with the society.

I want to create new services for old people. But I never ran a business before.

Hey buddy, have you heard of the SYY Akatemia?

Mikko

Training center and business incubator for social entrepreneurs. Action learning, teamwork and personal support.

Sounds useful! Try it out! At the pilot days in Helsinki in

Feb-April 2011!

Mikko

I’ll check it out.

Makes sense.

So this is social entrepreneurship

Pesticides… Loss of diversity.. Spreading the word wasn’t enough

Mikko

I set up a company that distributes organic food to catering companies.

Wow, so many ideas on how to really get started
