About Parsuma
A Helsinki-based multicultural publishing house connecting voices, cultures, and ideas through books, media, and meaningful experiences.
Our Story
Every meaningful journey begins with a question. For us, that question was simple: Where does culture belong in a world that is more connected than ever, yet often feels fragmented and disconnected?
Parsuma was founded by two people who arrived in Finland through different paths but found themselves searching for the same answer.
One spent more than fifteen years working in economics, business, and organizational leadership. He understood systems, structures, and how societies create value. Yet beyond numbers and strategy, he carried a lifelong passion for culture, literature, and the stories that shape communities.
One came from media, publishing, and civic engagement. He spent years working with stories, ideas, and public conversations. He believed that voices matter, especially those that are often overlooked or unheard.
Together, they founded Parsuma — not as a business first, but as an answer to a question they both carried: What if there was a place where cultures could truly meet?
