About Yle Media Start Accelerator
The Yle Media Start Accelerator (powered by Nestholm) is looking for startups from Finland and abroad that have an innovative media service.
With Nestholma's Lean Startup -driven model, a great lineup of mentors from [Yle] (/organization/yle) and their network of investors, startups will get a running start in getting to the next level. Also, communications and services company [Elisa] (/organization/elisa) will be part of the program helping the startups. Both Yle and Elisa are also looking for new partners that have great ideas for services and technologies that extend and improve their offerings. During the accelerator program, startups will also have opportunities to pitch their product or service to relevant people at Yle and Elisa.
