Viran was invited to share its founder story at an Aaltoes and Founders House Helsinki event, alongside the co-founders of Elva and a startup in stealth.

Aaltoes and Founders House Helsinki invited Viran to share its story at **Founder Stories from Founders House**, held on 4 November 2026 at Sähkötalo in Helsinki.

Viran co-founder Aaro Angerpuro, who specialises in international public tendering, joined Zechen Ma, co-founder of Elva, and Oona Linna, co-founder of a startup in stealth, in a three-founder programme.

The evening gave students considering entrepreneurship a chance to hear directly from founders about starting a company, the decisions made along the way and the lessons they would pass on to someone getting started.
