Welcome to Starting the StartUp blog dear reader!

This blog will tell you a story of WeTell Networks, fresh new startup from Oulu Finland. We will tell you how we ended up building our own company, after we had talked about it for several years. During these years we have talked about our idea to professors, potential customers, VCs, friends, family, consults, etc. and all they have helped us to shape our idea to form as it is today. It has been a long run with ups and downs, but we have loved all the way!

During this time we have learned what it is to do business in Finland, especially if you are building a new company with fresh business idea. In the beginning we had to hit our head to wall few times before we found right people and learned what right things to say are. You can't learn these things from the University or any other Finnish schools, although they have good courses about entrepreneurship and how you should run your company. I think we should take a look how things are done in the USA or UK and we might have more young entrepreneurs.

As the previous paragraph tells you our blog is not only about how we are doing as a company, although that is essential part of it. We will also blog about StartUps in general, our views of Finnish way of doing business and share our knowledge of what we have learned during these years. Hopefully this blog will give some advices to young people, who are building a startup or are thinking about it.

As this is our introduction writing we try to keep it short and tell you more about WeTell Networks and our history in the next episode.

Cheers
