Miina Kivelä
Coach
I coach students live and on cool online courses. I become inspired by visually beautiful things and all new digital stuff. On my courses I want to inspire my students to develop themselves and to take responsibility on their own future.
Growth Hackers
Growth Hackers is our multidisciplinary student team that is brought together by the interest in entrepreneurship and learning more about team skills and team leadership skills.
The hackers form their own team that develop their skills in team work and team leadership. These students have an important role in making HUBS more known for the 30 000 students of Tampere University and TAMK.

Seungyeon Shin
Growth Hacker
Studying Entrepreneurship and Team leadership at Proakatemia. I believe entrepreneurship is about being an agent for change, whether big or small. Being courageous might not be enough to make a change, but it is possible with a good team where you can find trust and empathy. At HUBS as a Growth Hacker, I’ll be in charge of events, making good impact with a good team.
