Valto Loikkanen is a serial entrepreneur who has started several companies across Europe and the US in the web and mobile fields. At the age of 24, Valto started and grew his first company VTG Worldwide, selling custom mobile phone covers, from the ground up into an international business with a turnover of over 100 million FIM.
Forward-thinking and always seeking the next big web and mobile success, Valto became fed up with the lack of transparency and openness in the startup funding process. He saw that with Web 2.0 taking hold, a lack of transparency no longer works in helping the Internet’s shining stars find their grounding, which was one of the drivers behind him co-founding the Grow VC Group.
