Reetta Heiskanen

HEAD OF PLATFORM AND MARKETING
REETTA@MAKI.VC
+358 44 326 9902

Reetta actively supports Maki's portfolio companies in their growth and splits her time between Helsinki and Oslo. Her forte is in structuring early customer success and marketing steps for new ventures, and consumer brands and retail technology are constantly on her radar. Before moving to the VC side of the table, Reetta scaled Brella (the virtual event platform) in the U.S.—and was also the company’s first hire. She also worked as a business and politics journalist at Helsingin Sanomat, the largest daily subscription newspaper in the Nordics, is a Slush alumna, and has built programming and robotics courses for Nordic high schools.

FOUNDERS Hear us Out.

When we invest, you as a founder get the entire Maki team to work with you, side by side.

And we don’t only support founders, we support the early hires, too. We know that building the early processes at a new venture is hard - and it becomes impossible without the right support network. Our community of entrepreneurs and doers at Maki House work side by side with the new entrants to supercharge their growth.

Do you have the next ground-breaking idea? Let us know about it. Reach out to us at lets@maki.vc
