👋 Hi, I’m a founder and builder of things.
My superpowers: business operations, strategy, and leadership.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve built cross-border teams of 50+ people and launched multiple ventures from scratch, and helped tons of operators.

I also failed tons and lost a bunch of money. 
Rebounded. 
Restarted. 

One thing I’ve come to understand about myself:
I’m really good at the “next customer” and “initial traction” stages.

I might not be your guy for scaling to $10M,
but if you’re stuck in the “what do I offer” or “how do I get my first 5 clients” phase,
I’m the person who can push you to that next level.

If you’re a solo builder trying to move from lost to momentum,

DM me the word “CLARITY” — I’ll send details, and let's figure it out 💫

Alright, here’s something you probably didn’t expect to see 🤣
Last summer, I started a new business. #newjob

Mattonouto.fi solves one simple problem: carpet cleaning.

“When was the last time you cleaned your carpet?”
Most common answer: never.

Second most: I remember… but it was a nightmare.

We make it simple.
We know the materials.
We handle pickup and return.
Premium orders? We even roll the carpets.

Years of washing experience. The right tools. Smooth process.

You don’t need to trust me. 
Trust the customers we’ve already served.

And yes, I say “we”, because there’s a growing team behind this.

We’re hiring:

- 1x Customer Coordinator (Fin, Swe, Eng)
- 1x Social Media Content Intern (unpaid)
- Meta & Google Ads consultants

Currently operating in Uusimaa.
- Looking for scaling partners in other regions.

Curious? DM me.
Or tag someone who should see this.

The Mayor of Helsinki invited me for a drink.


Okay, not just me..

And technically, it was a sparkling juice.

Yesterday, I attended the annual citizenship celebration hosted by Mayor Daniel Sazonov at Helsinki City Hall.

I’ve been officially Finnish for just over a year - and being invited to this event felt genuinely warm and welcoming.

Finland has its problems.
Big problems.
It’s not perfect.
But it’s my new home. 

And here I am:

Building business.
Paying taxes.
Employing people.
Helping people.
Contributing as a citizen.

With all the noise, anger, and division online, don’t forget to notice the good. 

Even small actions matter when building a better future.

Feeling grateful and ready for the weekend. ☺️


Anything unexpected happened to you this week?

Sunday giggles 🤣 

On the serious note- 

It became too popular to build startups, do smth useful please 😅


Disclaimer: above note does not apply to useful startups, only to random things people “build” nowadays. 


Need to explain everything in Linkein nowadays to avoid confusion 🥰
