In the summer of 2014, six young men founded a startup that—after cash flow crises, media scandals, and internal power struggles—grew into a multinational billion-dollar company. Based on candid interviews with those involved, the book tells how Wolt conquered 30 countries, found itself in the crosshairs of labor unions, and ultimately negotiated the largest corporate acquisition in Finnish history.

Fast-paced and gripping, the story shows where bold risk-taking can lead. The Wolt miracle required the relentless drive of Miki Kuusi, who—together with his team—was obsessively determined to become number one in the world.

A business drama of international scale from Finland.
