Eureka 267: Valpas

Martim Gois is the founder of Valpas, a Finnish company that was launched to combat the scourge of bed bugs at hotels. The idea was born out of Martim’s frustration while on his own travels in 2013. The firm’s products are now used in more than 60 prestigious hotels around the world. Valpas was launched out of Maria 01, a city-supported start-up hub in Helsinki that houses 180 companies and 1,400 entrepreneurs, part of the country’s incredible start-up ecosystem.
