Merry Christmas from Nolwenture 🎄

As 2025 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank our clients, partners, and our team for an exceptional year.

This year marked several important milestones for Nolwenture. As we celebrated 13 years in business, we also became part of ProVerse Interactive Oy, securing our future as an in-house technology team while continuing to support our existing clients around the world. This step strengthens our ability to build high-quality digital products and deepens our role as venture builders—not just a software development partner.

We are proud of what our team has achieved in 2025: delivering impactful software, collaborating closely with clients across industries, and growing together as a trusted, people-first organization.

Looking ahead to 2026, we are excited to continue building innovative technology, creating long-term value, and shaping what comes next—together with ProVerse.

For our international followers: the image shared here was created from a photo taken in Eastern Finland this Saturday—although much of the snow has already melted!

Season’s Greetings, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year from all of us at Nolwenture.

Unlucky for some, but not for us — Nolwenture turns 13 this Sunday! 🥳

The number 13 carries a lot of meaning. In some cultures, it represents transformation, resilience, or bold beginnings. For us, it’s all that — and more.

So what does 13 mean to us?

Here are 13 reasons we’re proud and grateful after 13 incredible years:

1. We’ve grown into a team of 25 amazing people
2. Supported many startups now scaling globally
3. Seen millions €s invested into our clients’ journeys
4. Expanded Nolwenture at home and abroad
5. Achieved outstanding client retention
6. Maintained a strong and loyal senior team
7. Promoted interns into thriving full-time careers
8. Shown resilience and taken bold risks to support our clients
9. Stayed flexible and human-first when life throws challenges
10. Embraced innovation and fresh thinking, constant learning and not just jumping on tech bandwagons
11. Built partnerships that last across continents, industries and for profit and non-profit organisations
12. Championed diversity and creativity in hiring and nurturing to build project teams that really deliver
13. And… we’re just getting started and excited for the years to come

What does the number 13 mean to you?

Whether you see it as lucky, meaningful, or mysterious — we’re taking this moment to celebrate, reflect, and say thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.

Here’s to the next chapter!
