Help people start doing
The best way to learn is through doing, but for most people it's hard to make a first step. The goal isn’t to be perfect from the start, but about persistence in your actions towards it.
Many are excited about an idea of creating something of their own, but due to fear, self-doubt and uncertainty they don't take action!
Aaltoes is the people accelerator that facilitates your bold, crazy and 'that will never work' ideas. It doesn't matter if it's big or small, disrupting the world or not so innovative; It's about vision and taking steps towards it.
How can we help?
Create low barrier entry points to take first step into the community. People need to know how they can take more responsibilities.
Showcase Aaltoes success stories to make people excited and normalize failure by discussing it openly, turning it into a common part of the learning process.
Revive community breakfasts and run events to make Aaltoes look more accessible.
Organize workshops that will be a viable step towards building something of your own in Aaltoes.
Have a strong community that supports building, so viewers will want to be active.
By helping "newcomers" feel confident in taking their first step toward building something of their own we will get more people choosing entrepreneurship.

Support the community
You don't need to be on the board to build projects. The real value comes from the community, not from the board. If 6 board members help 60 members to create great projects, they will accomplish 10x more than doing it by themselves.
We should work together without any barriers. Be transparent and make members be heard and not afraid to ask and build.
The board will not enforce their agenda and choose which project should or should not exist based on it. If you are really doing something beneficial and choose building we will support and encourage you. How will we do that?
Provide mentorship, connection and resources for making your own ideas into reality.
Organize ideation days, validation weeks, and monthly themed accelerators programs to help to produce and validate ideas and to make a prototype and product.
Build trust between members and the board. Be transparent and open. Make their words impact the direction.
Show their ownership and accomplishments, so people will feel valued.
Provide individual grants for members that want to go fully into project.
Have community events that will foster courage, building culture and bonds inside the community.
By supporting the culture and community more will go from idea to prototype to something that creates impact, benefiting the Finnish ecosystem.

Connect the cracked ecosystem
Position Aaltoes as Finland’s entry point of entrepreneurship's pipeline and connector between talent and further opportunities. The current interaction with entities from the ecosystem has cracks that need to be fixed. Additionally, provide the efficient way of accessing Europe market and network. How?
Support the creation of Finnish entrepreneurial "wiki" for easier navigation and further collaboration.
Foster collaboration across entities from Aalto as well as outside to share learning and knowledge for accelerated growth.
Connect young members with the alumni providing benefit for both.
Help Finnish ecosystem players access international networks to make it easier to access markets outside Finland via the new project lead by the volunteers, not the board.
Bring investor and international players to Finland via startup event during early summer. Startup Demos will be a great place to showcase our young ecosystem players.

About me
Who am I?
I’m Vladyslav Borodenko, a passionate and curious problem solver coming from both business and technology backgrounds.
Since my first encounter with Aaltoes in 2023, I've slowly but steady become engaged in the Finnish startup scene learning and helping the community.
Having experience as AaltoAI board member gave me experience in leading a fast growing, innovative student community and strengthened my ability to connect people.

Why am I running?
Finland is the best place to learn through failure, due to its safety net. Currently, many talented students don't see that in Finland as an opportunity to create something their own, but as a comfort zone for living. People have ideas that they are afraid to turn into reality and that's a problem. Inside the trust and communication are lacking, not producing the best result possible.
That needs to change and this is my "Why"!
I have a solid understanding of what Aaltoes and entities already do well and what is still missing.
I have an experience of watching from the side and taking time to be deeply involved, so I know How and What is needed to do to activate them to support entrepreneurship in Finland.
