Estonian e-Residency Investor Speed Meetings @ How to Web
APPLYING FOR INVESTOR SPEED MEETINGS IS CLOSED!
This is your chance to pitch your startup directly to Estonian and international early stage investors, get feedback, and connect with the Estonian startup ecosystem.
Are you an early-stage founder attending How to Web 2026 in Bucharest? Join us for an evening of structured 1-on-1 meetings with angel investors and VS's from Estonian and beyond!
How it works?
The event brings together ambitious founders and experienced investors in a focused speed-meeting format.
Each meeting follows a simple format:
3 min — startup pitch
5 min — questions & discussion
Next meeting — switch and meet another investor or take a break (everyone has it's own schedule)
The format gives you a chance to test your pitch, get a fresh investor perspective, and potentially open the door to future investment conversations.
Who can attend?
🚨 Attendance is approval-based.
If you’d like to participate in the investor speed meetings, you’ll first need sign-up here and apply by completing your Dealum profile.
organizers and investors will review the submitted profiles and select the startups invited to pitch to investors. Completing a Dealum profile therefore does not guarantee a place at the event or in the speed meetings.
