Friday Wrap Up



    Thanks to everyone who came to last night’s ArcticStartup / TNW meetup! Leading off the article are the only two pictures Dmitri says are fit to print. I think Robin got a good chance to meet the Helsinki startup scene, and many thanks to everyone that helped us hit our drink minimum. I hope I can speak on behalf of Dmitri and Robin to say that seeing the community buy drinks brought a tear to our eyes; it meant a lot to us.
