Estonian Startup Leaders Club

Uniting Estonian startup entrepreneurs

We are young leaders building ambitious Estonian startup companies to become European or global leaders in our specific industries. We are promoting startup culture and innovative thinking in Estonia. Everything we do is from entrepreneurs and co-founders to others in the same position or who are just getting into the startup world. Goals of the Estonian Startup Leader Club: - Share experiences and best practices on managing early-stage startups - Business networking and meeting new experienced people (guest speakers) - Promote entrepreneurship in Estonia and grow the community of startup founders - Speak out on behalf of startups to improve government support programs, business law and other policies affecting entrepreneurs and startups Estonian startup leaders club was formed in January 2009 by a group of people who participated on a 4-module startup leaders training program in autumn 2008. After the training program was finished, the participants wanted to continue sharing their experiences and getting advice from people working on similar early stage startups. Most startups and CEO-s face similar daily issues - raising capital, setting up compensation models and options programs, hiring and organization culture, export sales etc.
