The people behind
Enlightened Bits.
We're a two-person team from Helsinki, both recent graduates of Aalto University, with a simple goal: give European organisations capable AI on European infrastructure, running open-source models. Nothing American, full freedom.
Maximilian
Maximilian has a Master of Science in Information Networks from Aalto University, where he worked at the meeting point of technology, data and people. He then went to San Francisco to build AI agents, working hands-on with autonomous systems at the frontier of the field. At Enlightened Bits he brings that experience home to Europe, running capable open-source AI on European infrastructure you control.
Juhani
Co-founder of Enlightened Bits, working on the hardware and setup side, getting machines installed and running smoothly on-site.
How we got here
We met at Aalto University and kept coming back to the same idea: European organisations shouldn't have to hand their most important work to an American cloud or an American AI company. For work that is regulated, private, or simply important, you should be able to run it on European infrastructure, on open-source models, and keep your data, your costs and your freedom in your own hands. Enlightened Bits is how we make that practical for organisations across the Nordics.
