## About

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.

Meet, connect and discover what’s next

Stick around afterward to network and meet the Maria 01 and Hive Helsinki teams in person.

Come for the stories. Stay for the connections. Discover what’s NEXT.

This session is organised together with Hive Helsinki as part of Maria 01 NEXT.
