If you would need to find a downside of “Finnishness” it would propably be about how people have traditionally been settling for little, not aiming for the sky with their dreams like in many other western countries. Ideas get sold to other countries, where them are made to successful businesses. You can get rich by winning the lottery, but by starting a company… don’t you dare.
We must understand that we are capable of great things and can be proud of that.
Change towards healthier attitude towards entrepreneurship might be happening already, as events like Slush 2022 have been gaining recognition even outside Finland.
