I would suggest that anybody who's in the business, or thinking of starting a business, or thinking of investing in business should be here!

The sTARTUp festival is amazing – I just can’t believe how well organized it is! I mean it’s like I’m in New York or London.

Tartu is a fantastic city. Only for seeing Tartu I think that you should go there. I had high expectations, but it was far better than I expected.
Jeremy Goldman
Author & Host, FUTUREPROOF podcast
I think that this is the perfect size, where you have some really great speakers, and also me. You also have so many interesting startups that are presenting in a really great floor to walk through.
Marvin Liao
Former partner, 500 Startups
Me personally, I love helping and sharing some of the things that we’ve learned the hard way. I hope I get invited back again next year!
Hjalmar Winbladh
Managing partner, EQT Ventures
I was surprised about the size of this event and the vibes around it. It’s an area that is going to see so many good startups coming out of this area over the next 5 to 10 years for sure.
Martin Vares
Founder & CEO, Fractory.com
sTARTUp Day is an event with a casual and positive atmosphere, always at an interesting venue. Perfect for networking – big enough to attract people and small enough to find all the relevant ones.
Lisa Lang
CEO & Founder, The PowerHouse
The great experience I had, was that you meet so many people from all over the world. There is one room, but the world is in it.
Magda Lukaszewicz
Investment Associate, Balderton Capital
The atmosphere was very friendly, and I was surprised by the high quality of local and international startups presented at the event. Months later, I am still in touch with entrepreneurs and investors that I met in Tartu, which is of big value.
David Beckett

A buzzing event, full of energy, excellent pitches, great speakers and loads of passion. I loved being part of sTARTUp day!
