This is what it's like inside of day 1 of Arctic15
It's 9:30 AM, and there's still a long line of people waiting to enter Arctic15.
The venue is a former cable factory founded in 1912 —now transformed into a hub of ideas— where techies, founders, and investors mingle among industrial hallways, LED screens, and freshly brewed coffee (lots of coffee).
Because of the building’s open structure, like a classic factory floor, the event stretches across long corridors without interruption, with each area defined by stands, logos, and visual installations.
On the main stage, the lights shine on conversations and presentations that aim to clarify the present and future of business investments, while also helping startups scale their goals.

Due to the way the central walkway is set up in Arctic15, startup representatives naturally approach attendees as they pass, delivering their pitches and seeking to expand their message.
Today, the main stage featured several key names from the investment world, such as Bruno Wisniewski (Cherry Ventures), Sami Lampinen (Inventure), Pia Lemmetty (Tesi), Millo Suonenlahti (Tyrion Partners), and Risto Rautakorpi (Gorilla Capital).
There are also a series of workshops designed to tackle topics that hit close to home for any entrepreneur: how to scale without burning out, how to prepare for an exit, and what it really means to sell when you’re a founder.
We came from Entreprenerd Media to cover this event from the inside — to experience it beyond the press releases. This was day one of two, and we already have more stories than time. Tomorrow, we’ll continue exploring rooms, listening to pitches, and uncovering the news.
More reporting to come.
