“The ability to focus is the biggest competitive advantage of the future.”

OUR STORY
We founded Focus Tiger with a deep passion for bridging brain research—our big love—into practical work life.
Our mission is to equip every brain worker—navigating the world full of distractions with a hunter-gatherer brain—with the simplest and most effective neuroscience-based tools to boost motivation, focus and productivity.
We envision Focus Tiger as the go-to tool for focused brain workers globally. Think of it as your firm yet loving companion, empowering you to take back control and stay on track—even though everyone around you seems to be losing their minds.
In an era where attention spans are shrinking and chronic stress is rising, our mission is clear: to fix your focus. With our team of neuroscientists, psychologists, and business experts, we pack the most recent findings in neuroscience into easily digestible tools for building every day habits.
How? In a tough-love kind of way. Empathetic but not fearing to put you out of your comfort zone. You know, where the change happens.
The founders of Silta Education are Johanna Vilmi (COO) and Veera Virintie (CEO). Johanna is a performance psychologist, serial entrepreneur and a real stress maestro. Veera is a neuroscientist, startup founder and ex-marketing director in SaaS.
The scalable, cost-efficient Focus Tiger is researched at the University of Helsinki and scientifically proven to improve the focus and productivity of brain workers.
