Another really good networking event held! We heard over many talks that started with a question - hey, how do YOU define deep-tech and how do you separate it from health-tech? Well, we hope everyone got answers to their questions and had fun times in #Tartu2024 Humal restaurant as there was quite a big crowd to catch up with. Also! So grateful to have awesome partners - the event was hosted in collaboration with Sparkup Tartu Science Park, Tartu Biotechnology Park, Startup Estonia and Estonian Business Angels Network (EstBAN) within the Estonian Health Tech week. 👩⚕️📡 Thank you all who were on stage and shared thoughts about health tech, cross-border investing, raising money and leading health-tech investments - Sigvards Krongorns (Verge HealthTech Fund), Erki Mölder, Tõnu Esko, Priit Salumaa (Better Medicine), Katrina Laks (Migrevention), Sven Parkel and moderator Vaido Mikheim.

We have done some research and have prepared a reading-material/ textbook for all the angel investors out there! 🌍 Within our 4NGELS project we have learned that not many investors dare to do cross-border investments. And yes - you should not only be careful doing high risk investments, but you should also educate yourself before considering it. So please download our guidebook from EstBAN's website 👉https://lnkd.in/d582_sxa - This guidebook walks you through the whole Estonian startup-investment ecosystem. This is good use for investors outside of Estonia or local investors who are interested in becoming an angel investor. 👉 https://estban.ee/4ngels/ 🫶 Also - let us know what's missing and what you'd like to know before doing high-risk cross-boarder investments? This guide is part of the 4NGELS project, which is an international programme organized by four business angel networks: Estonian Business Angels Network (EstBAN), Finnish Business Angels Network (FiBAN), Business Angels of Slovenia, COBIN Angels. The programme is coordinated by Civitta. We bring together investors from Estonia, Finland, Slovenia and Poland to strengthen the level of cross-border investment between our business angel networks. Thank you Ivo Remmelg, Merlin Seeman, Yrjö Ojasaar, Hugues Flament for your input for the guidebook. Have you downloaded it yet? 👉 https://estban.ee/4ngels/
