Startup Commons a global nonprofit association dedicated to making startup funding more understandable

Startup Commons Official Details update

by: Valto

I wrote the first post of Startup Commons on August 24th, but the actual association was "officially" initiated at September 13th of 2009, when we filed the papers to Finnish National Board of Patents and Registration. The process of getting an official "non-profit" status for association in Finland takes several months.

Few days back, when I check the official records I noticed that all registrations had finally passed and I'm now proud to announce, that as of last day of 2009, Startup Commons Association is a officially registered non-profit association.

Official details can also be seen via Association Registration database and from business information system of the National Board of Patents and Registration and the Tax Administration.

As we continue our efforts, we have also added few pages to our site. A page for those that want to show their support Startup Commons and a page for those that we want to show our gratitude.

This is yet another small step forward in our mission. As we move forward we need all kinds of resources and people to help us, so if you are interested on working to support our mission, please share your ideas in comments below or send us and email.
