Fundis took part in Maria 01 Next Startup Festival!

Helsinki’s startup hub Maria 01 was buzzing with excitement on September 17, 2025, as the Next Startup Festival brought together entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators. The day’s program had something for everyone: panel discussions, pitching sessions, demos, and plenty of networking.

Fundis was present with its own stand, where we met interested investors, potential partners, and future users. It was inspiring to see how our concept sparked curiosity not only within the startup community but also among organizations striving for social impact.

A true highlight for us was when our CEO, Seppo Kuusinen, took the stage to talk about the revolution of fundraising. In his pitch, Seppo explained how Fundis combines payments with responsibility in a new way – turning every purchase into an opportunity to support clubs, associations, and charities.

And since the best ideas often emerge in informal encounters, the evening continued in a relaxed spirit – first at the festival’s own afterparty, and later at the legendary Bar Loose for the “after after party.”

The Fundis team has truly enjoyed being part of the Maria 01 community and is excited to continue growing within this dynamic startup ecosystem!
