Hey, foreign founder – this event series is for you!
Building a startup is exciting, and we’re glad you’re doing it here in Estonia. You’re not doing this journey alone. The ecosystem here is open, collaborative, and full of people who want to see you succeed. We’re here to help you feel at home and build a company that grows with confidence.
Our third meetup in this 6-part series dives into something every founder faces early on: how to land your first customers in Estonia. And since it’s December, think of it as your end-of-year validation sprint — where real conversations start turning into real traction.
Here’s what we’ve planned:
📘 Workshop: “Early Customer Validation Tactics That Work”
A hands-on session introducing practical ways to validate your idea early: how to run effective customer interviews, test simple MVPs, understand differences between B2B and B2C outreach, and start building your first touchpoints in the Estonian market.
🎤 Panel Discussion
Hear from foreign founders who have already entered the Estonian market. They’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and what surprised them. A business development mentor will add insights on common barriers and success patterns.
🤝 Networking
Connect with international and local founders, ecosystem partners, and potential collaborators. Good conversations tend to open unexpected doors.
