Strive is a project revolutionizing the Finnish job market to one where startups are the best place for students to thrive in a high-growth environment. Students don't recognize the potential that startups offer as places where you can quickly and efficiently learn and grow. On the other hand startups are innovators whose success depends on their ability to find and engage the best talent. We're changing the status quo and connecting students with rapidly growing growth companies. Our main event is held in the fall and is a startup crawl connecting students to the best startups in Finland.
