I’m a candidate for the Greens from Töölö, raised by the startup community.
Helsinki is no doubt one of the best places to live, but I want to raise it to the next level. Helsinki has all the potential to be a capital of growth — a city where the streets are full of life.

"I already know Joona from our years at AYY and I'm excited that we can now build the future of Helsinki and the Greens together. Joona strengthens the market-liberal view for the Greens and brings new financial thinking and a business perspective to the table thanks to his experience at Slush and Wolt."
