Marko Wathen
Co-Founder CEO @ Intellean
About
Frustrated with how poorly information and knowledge flows in workplaces from IT systems and documents to the users who needed it, I knew there had to be a better way. LLMs were hailed as technology to solve these issues, but haven't quite lived up to expectations, especially where reliability and accuracy is required. I had already started working on the precursor to Intellean years ago, and after several concepts, prototypes and false-starts, finally built and launched Intellean in early 2026. At Intellean we took a different path, we rely very little on AI using it only where it is best and it delivers value. Along the way, I’ve been a freelance consultant on and off for 10 years, mainly managing projects for corporations. I continue to share insights on various topics ranging from technology to visualization, and cognitive science - to help us work more efficiently, make better decisions, and fewer mistakes.If you’re interested in turning noise into knowledge, let’s connect!In my downtime, I recharge by drinking lots of coffee, tinkering with a luxury high-precision filter coffee machine project, running, walking our energetic dog Walter, and enjoying moments with my family and 2 cats.

Founder
Lund
Consumer filter / drip coffee machines and brewers are unreliable (lack precision features), poor quality (cheap and plasticky), and are quite ugly (all look alike). In addition, coffee machines, like most kitchen appliances have too much plastic coming in contact with heated liquids, releasing toxic chemicals and microplastics into the coffee. There really aren't any safe food-grade plastics. As the coffee machine that I want to use, doesn't exist, I decided to create and build one, and will bring to market in 2025.

Founder
Oleile
Helsinki, Finland
Development of Oleile business and tech concepts, building the team, searching investment... all the typical founder stuff. Our timing was slightly off and we couldn't quite hack an MVP. Oleile aimed to be a marketplace, where hotels retain their brands and visuals throughout the user's booking journey. Oleile provided tools for hotels to promote and sell their own amenities and services, as well as local destination services to increase customer service and new revenue generation.
