Maria 01 Builders’ Breakfast: Building Hits Takes Courage – Lessons from Mika Tammenkoski

We’re thrilled to invite you to the February edition of the Builders’ Breakfast, the founder-focused series where experienced entrepreneurs share their wins, failures, and lessons learned.

Join us for an honest conversation with Mika Tammenkoski, the CEO and Co-Founder of metacore. Hear hard-earned lessons from five years of building metacore, the company behind the chart-topping mobile game Merge Mansion. From startup growing pains to world-class entertainment, and a Finnish centaur. This is a candid look at what worked, what didn’t, and what it takes to keep going when things get hard.

What to expect

• Why strong culture matters, and why culture alone is not enough

• How putting players first drives engagement, longevity, and monetization

• What it means to build entertainment beyond the mobile screen

• Why creating new hit games is really, really hard – and how to keep trying

• How to grow in a young, fast-changing industry without losing focus

This is your opportunity to connect with fellow founders, gain unique insights, and get inspired by Mika’s remarkable journey. Whether you’re building your startup or scaling to the next level, this session is packed with value for you.

Coffee and breakfast are on us.
