More about Kristjan Vanaselja
I am passionate about people and the way they work and balance their lives. Ideas and solutions, that make balancing life and work easier and change the ways of working get me fired up. Creating new ideas and innovating to change the world make me just insane.
I am kind of a rebel - do not tend to stay in university for a long time and do not care too much about the "academic" education. I rather prefer to grow and learn while doing and trying things out.
Within the past seven year in Manpower, I have gained experience about the HR industry; about it's challenges in the changing world and how important it is to continue innovating and looking for new solutions.
GoWorkaBit is going to change the way people work. We liberate the way of working, by giving people freedom to choose when, where and for whom they work by connecting them with companies who have an urgent need for extra staff.
A team of 6 professionals with remarkable experience from HR and tech, have been passionately building and developing a product that will provide people a freedom. Work will no longer be an unpleasant obligation or a long term commitment but a possibility to choose when, where and for whom you work.
We are planning to grow and scale. If you share the passion for people and would like to liberate the way of working or make an investment to support it, contact me or check us out www.goworkabit.com

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
