Background
Gian-Luca Cioletti is a Helsinki-based serial entrepreneur and business angel with a career rooted in the telecom industry. He describes over 20 years of international business experience, including a period at Nokia where he led device and value-added-service (VAS) sales across the EMEA region. That operator- and carrier-facing background continues to shape the companies he builds and backs.
He is the founder, President and CEO of Moblasted Ltd and a co-founder of Finternet Group Oy, a Helsinki-based digital venture builder (startup studio) established in 2014 alongside co-founder Mikael da Costa. Finternet's original thesis was to help legacy media and directory companies digitize and adopt new online business models; after finding that traditional firms often lacked the operational expertise to run those models, the studio pivoted toward joint ventures in which it builds market-ready products (including recruitment sites and mobile dating apps) and takes equity in the outcomes. The team follows a lean, ship-fast philosophy — launching betas and refining on user feedback rather than waiting for perfection.
More recently, Cioletti serves as Chief Operating Officer of CallStream AI, a Finnish telecom-AI startup (backed by Trado Capital) that works at the network level with mobile operators to capture calls in real time, turn conversations into structured business intelligence, and sync them into CRM/ERP systems as an operator VAS offering. He studied Economics and International Business Management at FINTRA, the Finnish Institute for International Trade (1996–1999).
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Backs early / seed-stage companies as an individual angel, mentor, advisor and board member — frequently taking hands-on operating or board roles rather than passive checks.
- Strong affinity for his domain expertise: telecom, mobile / VAS, and digital media — plus adjacent B2B SaaS, recruitment tech and, increasingly, AI applied to telecom.
- Comfortable with the venture-builder model: co-creating products and taking equity for operational involvement (the Finternet approach), not only writing capital.
- Values pragmatic, ship-and-iterate execution — the Finternet ethos that "it's better to be done and put out than to be perfect."
