This is your chance to pitch your startup directly to Estonian angel 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 members of EstBAN — the Estonian Business Angels Network.

​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.

​e-Residency and EstBAN 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.

​What else to expect?

​As a warmup, we’ll also give a short introduction to Estonia’s startup ecosystem and e-Residency — including why founders from around the world choose Estonia as a base for building and running their startups!

​🎤 Pitch your startup
Present your company directly to experienced Estonian angel investors in a structured 1-on-1 format.

​💬 Get feedback
Use the conversations to test your pitch, hear an investor perspective, and get useful feedback on your business.

​🤝 Build connections
Meet investors and fellow founders from across Europe and beyond, and continue the conversations beyond the pitches.

​🇪🇪 Discover Estonia
Get a quick introduction to e-Residency and Estonia’s startup ecosystem — and explore how Estonia could fit into your company’s journey.
