Biography: I’ve been an tech entrepreneur for more than 20 years and studied International Business Administration at the Estonian Business School (EBS).
Besides work, I like travelling and enjoy outdoor activities (hiking and biking), various sports (pilates, soccer, tennis, running, swimming, disc golf, etc.). My other major passion is doing good for our planet and its inhabitants, wherever possible. From using a bike for my daily commute, to recycling, to co-founding a number of community-based organisations.

My main passions in life include:

  • Boosting education initiatives and policy via the Estonian Education Foundation.
  • Promoting entrepreneurship, mentoring young founders, and making angel investments.
  • Making our cities safer for walking, cycling and scooters via Bolt and ElavTanav.ee
  • Doing good personally and promoting a mindset of effective giving.
I enjoy mentoring young entrepreneurs, empower Estonian education system via innovative projects and make the world better by doing good. I am passionate about entrepreneurship and giving back to community. I try to meet with 1-2 new entrepreneurs every week (mostly lunch meetings or 30min calls) in order to learn about their business ideas, challenges and give feedback and connect with relevant people.
Besides mentoring young founders, I am also doing angel investments. I am looking for a clear hypothesis for a product - clear customer pain and a solution to solve that pain. A strong founding team should have a working prototype in platforms/mobile space. Investment tickets usually €10-50K.
