Risto Siilasmaa on start-ups in a recession

Risto Siilasmaa is the founder of an internet security company and its former CEO. He is now also a board member at Nokia and backs several start-up companies.

Slush Helsinki is a conference for entrepreneurs. In 2008 it was held on November 24th.

You can see the keynote speech at the Arctic Startup blog. Risto keeps it short and offers some general advice to start-up companies on the attitude they must take to increase their chances of weathering an economic storm.

My favourite moment was hearing Risto say "American football is like life."
