Latitude59 is the cosy spring gathering for people serious about startups, investing, and the future of governance.
Expect showcases that reach way beyond the venue, pitching competitions attracting interest both on- and offline, and plenty of founder stories for inspiration and guidance on how to remain resilient during those challenging times. As an added bonus, startup ticket holders can apply to a dedicated mentor programme, designed to help overcome the most critical roadblocks and find answers to all the burning questions that have accumulated during the crisis and beyond. Stay tuned for the details.
Investors will have access to the most promising and fastest-growing startups from the region with a special spotlight also on those startups that were born out of the crisis. Together with our partners from Invest Estonia, we will once again provide all attending investors with a chance to get together, talk shop and share tips and stories, this time in the format of an investor breakfast.
As the Estonian government announced last week that Estonia will allow public events with restricted attendance then we will be adjusting both the programme and production accordingly. Our main goal is to guarantee the health and safety of our guests so rest assured all our programme elements will be adapted following the rules and guidelines that have been put into force to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

• Giant conferences are cool until they're not. Latitude59 is an intimate event with quality at its core. With almost as many investors as startups, so you're in fundraising heaven. Join Latitude59 digitally and/or in-person to be at the first important meeting after lockdown.
