I'm the guy running the company, or the guy who used to run it. It's been an awesome ride and a great learning experience. Most importantly though, I think we've been able to positively affect the Northern European startup scene in a sustainable way.

The hardest part of all this is to let go of my fantastic team. If you have part time, or full time work for them - please get in touch with them through the contact details in the post.

Well done Antti - it's a big thing to start your own company, and I'm sure even harder to know when to let go. I'm interested in why you are moving on - is it mainly a lifestyle/family decision ?

I think it would be helpful if you updated the page to say what languages Dmitri speaks.

Hi,

The languages that I speak are: Russian (Fluent), English (Fluent), Estonian (Fluent), Swedish (Basic, Conversational).

In addition I can understand on a basic level a number of slavic and nordic languages.

Dmitri - this is mere serendipity as this fell into my inbox today - it is probably not useful, but it is a rare skill set wanted: (I have no idea why a recruiter think I am fluent in Russian)

I am afraid I know nothing about the role or the recruiter but it may be possible to remote.

This is so sad. I blog about brazilian startups and I love the blog. It's been a great source of inspiration. I even use the sticker in my laptop. http://i.imgur.com/49a1E.jpg

Just curious. I love the startups & jobs database that you guys integrated to the CMS. Will you continue to run that? Would you guys consider open sourcing it, so people from other countries could use that too?

I just wanted to say thank you - arcticstartup has been a great source for my work on documenting new startups in europe and you've made my job a lot easier. I wish you guys the best.

Thank you, very much appreciated! And as said - we're looking for ways to continue it as a community driven thing, so I'm sure it's going to be around in some form. Lots of people reaching out to us currently.
