Tom Alapaattikoski, MSc

I am a Finnish-American entrepreneur, board professional, and investor. 8 years ago, I moved to Santa Monica, CA from Finland, and hold this as a home base. In 2008 while in college, I turned my lifelong hobby in Tech into a career. I started my first Tech company, Anders.com, raised funds, and hired university colleagues to build the BestPlaceToWork company. As a chairman today, we are taking Anders public shortly (Nasdaq). After getting Anders off the ground, I have founded multiple companies, e.g., Games (PS, Xbox, PC), movie producing, E-commerce & Accounting SaaS software, etc. I'm currently a co-founder and CEO at Biotech/MedTech company Brinter Inc, where I plan to take our pre-clinical & clinical application license business public in 3 years. I've been awarded several national & international awards and honors as an innovator, leader, & investor. Creativity, know-how in Tech, and an innovative mindset have been my steppingstone to my global connections and great friendships.
