Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolLauri Kainulainen is a pragmatic, production-focused technology leader and serial founder with 14 years of experience building startups and R&D-driven products from Helsinki. As CTO of Koll and Montel Intergalactic and co-founder of ventures like Kick.AI and School Wellbeing Services, he blends hands-on development, hardware-enabled machine learning, UX design and strategic leadership. He has a track record of shipping sensor-driven consumer apps, proptech and wellbeing platforms, and scaling small engineering teams through product iterations. Lauri’s background in new media and computer science gives him a rare mix of creative design sensibility and technical rigor, and he still codes and prototypes alongside executive duties. An unexpected thread across his career is a commitment to socially useful projects—nonprofit school wellbeing tools and anti-scam phone solutions—reflecting an entrepreneur who balances craft, impact and curiosity.
