Brand new event by Estonian Startup Community: Startup Blizzard 2027

4 November, 2026

A new winter storm is coming. Save the dates: 10–11 February 2027

Estonian Startup Community, including the Estonian Founders Society, EstVCA, EstBAN and Lift99 plan to shake the winter with a new community event spicing up the traditional Estonian Startup Awards with an extended 1,5 days of investor-founder meetings, pitching, networking, choosing a startup for a syndicate investment, insightful conversations and mingles. Get ready to meet startups so bright they make you forget you haven’t seen the sun in a month, network with enough people to justify not leaving your office for the next two weeks and meet so many KPIs that you’ll break all Q1 expectations by a landslide.

EstBAN Lead Investors Jana Budkovskaja and Ozan Sönmez will also start an angel syndicate within the event. The startup applications close by 21 December 2026.

The organizing commitee consists of Jana Saastamoinen (Asutajate Selts), Helen Piirsalu (Startup Awards), Kärt Klein (EstVCA), Kätlin-Carolin Noormägi (EstBAN), Eili Mändul (Startup Awards), Elise Sass (Lift99) and Mart Lättekivi (event producer).
