Arto Rastas is a seed investor at Helsinki Culinary Institute in Tampere focused on SaaS and Marketplace. I am a cook who never found it just as the journey on the trail. Thus, I decided to walk through several trails. What I mean is that, one day I can do a very modern and innovative cuisine, and again on the second day I can and I want to do something else. However, both of these must be in its own address.
