Event Description

How do you build a startup in one of the world’s most traditional industries and make sustainable materials easier to access?

Join us at Startup Sauna for Ambio Founder Story, an evening with Ambio’s founders, Tommi Bergstöm and Elmo Pakkanen. Ambio is an AI-driven physical commodity trader on a mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable materials. This mission is progressing fast in our primary domain, recycled plastics.

In this founder story, we’ll dive into what it takes to build in the circular economy, how the idea for Ambio came together, and what the early journey of a sustainability-focused startup actually looks like — from finding the right customers to navigating an industry that is ready for change but hard to move.

Together with Tommi and Elmo, we’ll explore:

Lessons for students and aspiring founders curious about climate, circular economy, or B2B startups

Whether you’re interested in startups, sustainability, materials, or just want to hear what founding a company really looks like, this is a great chance to learn directly from the founders building Ambio.

Come by, bring your questions, and get inspired. We will offer snacks and refreshments!

Why it's a match

Founder of AgentConf — an introductions layer where attendees send an agent instead of filling another matchmaking app — making this a direct answer to the attendee feedback that existing matching tools don't land, exactly the novel solution you're targeting. Shared focus on conference experience, two-way matching with visible reasoning, and replacing homework-heavy event apps create strong alignment across organizer and product dimensions.
