Wolt

Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming our local teams from Albania, Luxembourg and Uzbekistan to our headquarters in Helsinki! 🇦🇱 🇱🇺 🇺🇿 As the most recent additions to our list of 28 operating countries, teams from all three countries were full of fresh new insights and ideas 🚀 During the Expansion Intro Days at the HQ, they got to share their experiences, hear a few history lessons from our 10-year journey, learn the ins and outs of our product – and of course meet a lot of new colleagues face-to-face for the first time 🩵  And let’s not forget about the full Finnish experience with sauna and some karaoke 🎉 Huge thanks to all participants, organizers and speakers Miki Kuusi, Elina Hakkarainen, Olli Rissanen Julia Hodum, MBA, Henrik Pankakoski, Tuomas Hurmerinta & Antti Kosonen! 🙏

Since 2019, Wolt Hackathons have been a part of how our product teams innovate. These events are all about turning out-of-the-box ideas into working demos, in just 48 hours 🚀 The concept is simple: team members submit their project ideas, form teams around the challenges they’re passionate about, and then have 48 hours to turn those ideas into working demos ✨ This year's theme? AI. Here’s a sneak peek into this year’s event 👀 Want to be part of the next Hackathon? We’re hiring! Check out our open roles: https://lnkd.in/dJvh6ykt

Meet 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞́𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠, the owner of the flower shop 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐲. By embracing new customer trends and empowering them with creative freedom, Linda has grown her business from Gothenburg to 28 stores across 11 countries.
 "Bunchery started ten years ago, and while we've grown a lot since then, our mission remains the same: to help people experience the joy of arranging their own flowers. That’s why we sell flowers in bundles, not pre-made bouquets. Happy customers are our top priority, and Wolt has been a big part of helping us serve them better."

A great product makes life better for people who use it. That’s been our mindset since day one. For us, crafting excellence is about building beautiful products that work intuitively and feel right. It’s about building products that we can be proud of — the small, delightful details, world-class customer support, and the experience of receiving your order on time. It’s about striving to have a great experience for every user. How do we get there? By finding a balance between intuition and data, keeping ourselves accountable, and taking ownership of everything we do. Ready to do some of the best work of your career?
