🇱🇻 Riga + Vilnius Founders 🍸 Warmup Before TechChill Closing Party + Q&A with Helmuts, Founder & CEO of Sonarworks
Before TechChill wraps up — let’s meet to reflect and grab a proper Baltic beer 🍻
We’re bringing Vilnius Founders to Riga — a fast-growing community of 2,000+ founders, operators, and investors from Lithuania, known for no-BS meetups, honest conversations, and strong networks.
This time, we’re joining forces with the Riga startup crew at Labietis — one of the most unique craft beer spots in the Baltics.
Labietis isn’t your typical beer bar. They brew small-batch beers using local Latvian ingredients, herbs, honey, berries, and even wild yeast, inspired by ancient brewing traditions and nature. Expect flavors you probably haven’t tried before 🍯🌿
🇱🇻 Special Q&A session with Helmuts Bems, Founder & CEO of Sonarworks
Helmuts is a serial entrepreneur who built Sonarworks from 0 to a globally recognized audio technology company focused on sound calibration for headphones, speakers, and cars. He brings over a decade of experience in scaling deep-tech products, building teams, and navigating global markets from the Baltics.
