I've learned that the more I've practiced something, the luckier I have become. Within business, "scenario planning" allows you to practice quite a bit – one way to define your "luck," and aiding you in your successes. Learn more in #TransformingNokia at https://t.co/vZEHrsXBeu.

There is no chat, no email address. The call back service does not work for international numbers. I always feel so disappointed when otherwise reputable companies lose their customers’ trust due to shortsighted practices. Very unlikely that I would ever come back.

You all know the feeling when you have prepaid for something, are later forced to cancel and find that the company has gone out of its way to make it extremely difficult. @RoyalCaribbean does not allow cancellation in their app or their cruise planner on the web.

Inven is an extremely fast growing new breed of tech company fully in the AI driven mode of planning and executing. Great to join a group of strong investors supporting the company.

Overfunded startups often fall into the trap of complacency—burning cash without focus. Constraints force discipline, grit, and bold solutions. Comfort rarely sparks breakthroughs. Stay lean, stay hungry. #Entrepreneurship /2

DeepSeek’s launch proves a key truth: scarcity can be a gift. Limited resources push young companies to innovate, prioritize, and solve real problems. The US’s policy may have helped DeepSeek in a major way. #Startups #Innovation /1

The math is based on the following assumptions: Large vessel traffic increased from 15K/year in 2000 to 20K in 2024. Given this, the likelihood of three random independent incidents is extremely low. Great, if someone can verify the math and ship data.

Three recent Baltic Sea undersea cable damages by ship anchors have a 0.115% probability of occurring randomly in the last 18 months. This suggests the incidents may not be purely accidental despite the recent media coverage. /1

Here is a quick look at the four new electric motors Donut Lab unveiled. How about 2400 hp in your car? Crazy performance, simplicity of design and construction, very power efficient, low weight… What more can you ask? https://t.co/qILwi2hfiX

On aina etuoikeus tulla kutsutuksi tapaamaan ministereitä! Oli mukava keskustelu.
Suomen menestyneimpiin startup-sijoittajiin kuuluvan @rsiilasmaa:n mukaan ennakointi on lihas, jota vain harvat treenaavat 💪🏼 tänään Startup-ministeriössä Risto jakaa oivalluksiaan sijoitusportfolion rakentamisesta, fokuksen löytämisestä sekä ennakoinnin merkityksestä

Tämä on hieno edistysaskel Suomen tekoälyosaamiselle ja kilpailukyvylle yleensäkin! Onnittelut meille kaikille!
Suomalainen tekoälytutkimus on saanut merkittävän tuen hallitukselta ja lahjoittajalta. Suomeen perustetaan ELLIS-instituutti tehostamaan tutkimusta ja houkuttelemaan osaajia. Kiitos @okmfi ja @petersarlin! https://t.co/qxZjRpximC

Apparently the courier drove to the building, tried to call me and because I could not answer, drove away without even trying to deliver the parcel. How many people waste a full working day waiting for the courier without even getting the package?

It is rather frustrating to get an email from DHL that states: ”We were unable to deliver… because you were not at home…” I had put in extra effort to organize someone to be there the whole day. @DHLGlobal /1
