Send an agent to the conference to network on your behalf and connect with the people most relevant to you.

Event Description

Maria 01 × Hive HelsinkiPart of Maria 01 NEXT — a 2-day startup festival.

What does it really take to start building something from scratch?

Come hear the stories behind three of our Maria 01 founders' journeys, what pushed them to start, what nearly stopped them, and what they'd do differently now. Afterward, meet a team from Hive Helsinki and see firsthand what they're building.

What is Hive Helsinki?

Hive Helsinki is an 18-month, full-time, on-site tech program with no teachers, no tutors, and no set courses. Students build real products, review each other's work, and learn by figuring things out together.

The skills they walk away with go far beyond tech: problem-solving, ownership, and adaptability.

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.
