Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMikael Roos is a founder and CTO with over a decade of experience building web and real-time applications, best known for founding Flowdock and later co-founding Selma Finance. He blends hands-on engineering (JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, browser optimization) with product leadership, having served as CEO, product owner, and team lead through a successful acquisition. Mikael has deep experience shipping UX-focused features, integrating complex systems like SAP, and iterating quickly—sometimes removing features the moment they shipped. He’s equally comfortable designing agile processes and customizing Scrum to fit team needs, and has a track record of turning prototypes into lasting production code. Based in Helsinki, he pairs a technical background rooted in computer science and mathematics with entrepreneurial grit and deal-making experience as an investor and board chair. An underappreciated strength is his pattern of learning fast from failed experiments and using those lessons to shape durable products and teams.
