Friday Wrap Up

    Hello Nordics and Baltics. Yes, we have news, we have events, and we have jobs for you to take a look at. A couple people actually sent in events and jobs to include in this list, which got me all flustered. You guys read my Friday wrap up? Really? I’m touched. Feel free to pass anything my way at Greg (at) arcticstartup.com, or tweet tips my way @arcticstartup.

    News:

The full press release (with the supported companies) can be found here. We have no idea what Wrapp’s deal is with the shark, will do some investigative reporting.
