# About Verstos Oy

Verstos Oy is Janne Ikola's Finnish company for building proprietary software ventures and publishing independent AI media. It is an owner-operated holding company and practical product studio.

## What Verstos is

Verstos develops products and publications independently. Its current work includes Finnish AI journalism and learning content, focused SaaS products, and small digital ventures. The [Verstos portfolio](https://verstos.fi/) is the current public overview. Each venture's own official website is the source for product-specific availability, features, terms, and pricing.

Janne Ikola has more than twenty years of experience in marketing, digital services, growth, and business development. Verstos provides a home for long-term product building. This website does not advertise AI consulting, corporate training, implementation projects, or an undocumented agent or API service.

Verstos Oy previously operated the Bottiverstas business. That business was sold in 2025. Historical Bottiverstas work should not be interpreted as a description of Verstos Oy's current offering.
