Marit Alaväli
Founder, Recrur
From Tallinn
Building

I am a human, a woman, a mother and an entrepreneur with my strengths and weaknesses, feelings and emotions. Started my career as an assistant, grew step by step from HR manager to CEO, then to entrepreneur. Experienced success, challenges and burn-down in business. Recovered and learnt from the experiences - the practical steps on what to do differently, what to avoid and how to manage the pain and emotions. I don’t regret it. Today I am thankful and I’ve understood that the journey has changed me to be a better, a stronger and more experienced person. 

I love working with people even though sometimes it’s challenging and I don’t fully understand them. For years, I have been working to change the mindset in recruitment. I truly believe that a work relationship must be a partnership and it starts with the right mindset in recruitment. The way I contribute to change the mindset is through Recrur. 

Recrur connects the best candidates, employers and the recruiters without any hassle!

It does not matter what or where I work, it matters how I do it - valuing people around me, working to meet goals and enjoying the process. When it is over, it’s time to step out of the boat and find a new challenge.

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

I have been an entrepreneur for almost 10 years now. The last 3 years a startup founder and I can say that it is a totally different world. I have felt the pains and gains related to founding team relations to building the product; from finding your ideal customer profile to validate the market; from finding your first customer to finding the best channels to grow your customer base. 

Having those ups and downs has made me an advocate of having some activities besides your startup that balances you - is it sport, is it knitting, it doesn't matter, but it has to matter to you.

Sander Gansen (27 years old) is a proud father and tech nerd in pursuit of automation, longevity and networks.

Meanwhile, his main goal is to help speed up the adoption of emerging technologies, so we could all one day experience flying autonomous vehicles, smart dust and various use cases of biotech.

Having started his entrepreneurial career at the age of 14, he believes that every child should start their first business while 4 years old. Or at least before entering the teenage years. Because this way we enter our 20s/30s having had enough time to learn the necessary skills and still have the power to start something awesome.

So far, he has established or helped to grow various businesses, including WOF Labs (blockchain research and engineering company), Springrise (marketing strategy & execution agency), Speys/Shipitwise (logistics & supply chain management tool) and Robotex (global robotics education network). Sander's prior experience also includes work in Startup Wise Guys, a private capital accelerator and investment fund and teaching entrepreneurship at multiple Estonian universities.

Sander graduated in 2015 from Draper University with a non-academic degree in business and startup building. He also has studied Law and Business Administration at the University of Tartu.

His motto is: Dream, Risk, Have Fun and Never Regret.

Aleksander Gansen
Co-Founder, Supplain & WOF Labs
From Tallinn
Building

I’ve been an entrepreneur since high-school. Building products and services are what drive me. I do not really separate my work from what they call „a private life“. Solving customers' problems is my passion and hobby at the same time. I don't call it a job but a calling.

The entrepreneurial growth mindset is contagious. My wife, my sons and my daughters-in-law have become business owners. It's because of the air we breathe in this family.

I do appreciate moments of silence and meditation. I am hungry for the knowledge I’m getting from books, podcasts, webinars and functions. I love meeting people and learning about their cultures. I love great movies and plays. I enjoy travelling and sharing experiences with my family and friends.

To be a better student, I constantly teach what I have learned. My passion is to share my humble experience with upstarts. When possible, I coach or mentor the next generation of entrepreneurs. I am lucky to have the best mentors and amazing business partners I am learning from.

Owais Afaq
Partner & CEO, Mikaels Labs
From Tallinn
Building

I love to help people understand Technology and Humans, so that we can improve business and life together.

I’m on a mission to inspire people to become Business Leaders who shape our tech-driven future.

I do that by helping them enhance their communication skills, teaching them how to collaborate with other domains, supporting them to gain cross-subject knowledge, and inspiring them to narrow down and master their own craft.

I’m the CEO of Mikaels Labs, trying to bridge the gap between business and tech by facilitating reliable, inspired, and fulfilling relationships between companies and developers.

I’ve been on stage many times, trying to explain how Business and Tech can collaborate better, just by making an effort to understand each other. I do the same here on LinkedIn through my content.

For this mission, I’ve been awarded as one of the top ten Entrepreneurs of the Year in 2016 by Payoneer; written articles for TechCrunch, GoalCast, SmashingMagazine, and have also consulted the Estonian Government for their Artificial Intelligence initiatives. I’ve also lived in United States for a short while, learning the ins-and-outs of the Startup world in Telluride Venture Accelerator, where I met my co-founder and decided to move to Tallinn, Estonia.

In 2009, I was just a stereotypical introverted guy in Karachi, Pakistan, finishing my Bachelors in Commerce, embarking on a journey of self-exploration in the world of PHP and JavaScript. When I started working as a Software Developer, it pained me to see how developers are treated as code-churning slaves with constant monitoring and restrictions. They are not given creative freedom for growth, let alone providing an environment and support to accelerate it.

I decided to change that! And so can you.

To show how it is done, at Mikaels Labs we have created a culture of trust and true freedom. As long as you have a growth-mindset, and you’re a good human-being, you can be a part of our team, and we trust you to make commitments that you can keep — how you do that, is up to you, and we’re there to help.

We invite all business leaders, and employees, to understand the importance of empathy and positive culture, and we’re here to help you achieve that — if only you want to change!

Let’s talk. I’m just a message away 💌

Founder & CEO, VideoCV · VideoCV
From Tallinn

I’m from a very entrepreneurially minded family, my father has always been a great role model for me. He most certainly paved a way for my entrepreneurial way of life. Always trying to think of something someone has not done yet.

I played basketball for about half of my lifetime, 15 years as a pro basketballer in Estonia. That journey ended with a wrist injury which, to be fair, directed me towards my other passion – entrepreneurship. No good without the bad, right? So, I went to study Business and Marketing in Denmark.

About 4 years later, VideoCV - a talent-assessment screening tool was born.

VideoCV is set to make a change by:

- Helping recruiters evaluate candidates based on the most important - PERSONALITY

- We provide an alternative to basic CV approach and show recruiters the way past ill first impression

- Our talent assessment tool helps companies be more efficient and reduce time to hire

If you see the value in changing the old ways in order to evolve then don’t hesitate to message me!

When growing a SaaS business there are two core metrics you usually need to dial up. Free trial signups and meetings booked. At Hey Digital we can help you do both 💥

After successfully managing hundreds of thousands of dollars in spending on Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Capterra for our customers we have built out SaaS specific advertising processes that we know work.

And more importantly achieve fantastic ROI.

"Hey Digital know what they're doing when it comes to PPC. They significantly increased the number of people signing up for trials of our tool, booking demos with our sales team and more importantly making purchases" - Ovi Negrean

"As we’re not PPC experts, it’s nice to have Hey Digital in our court to help support us with our lead growth via Google Ads. Our biggest challenge has been scaling our lead volume at an acceptable rate, where we’re not blowing through budget. Hey Digital have provided us with the knowledge needed on how we can optimize our spend – but most importantly, how we can scale our leads." - Joanna Eliopoulos

𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬?

At Hey Digital we only work with two types of clients:

► Established SaaS companies who already have a high converting funnel in place and a minimum MRR of $50,000.

► Early stage SaaS companies who have raised their seed or series A round, are looking to aggressively scale their business and are able to commit to at least $5,000 per month in advertising spend.

We've built out processes and systems that allow us to serve these customers best and we are currently working with SaaS companies from all over the world.

A Canadian guy living in Estonia building Modash.io to help smart marketers turn ambassador programs into a powerful growth channel. Need to grow? Ask me anything 👉[email protected] 📬

I grew up in the east coast of Canada amongst the ocean and the trees. Lumberjacks and fisherman are cool and all, but I was hungry for something more. So I got the heck out of dodge and flew to Germany when I was 17.

After a couple of years, I read about the Silicon Valley of Europe in a Forbes article. I did not know anything business, I did not know startups, I did not know what I was doing. So I got on a plane and I flew here, to Estonia.

Since then I have failed and fought through a lot of mistakes. But also figured out i'm the "learning by doing" type.

We built a platform that is changing the way people think about ambassador marketing and shifting the industry from BS to ROI.

I want to help you grow your business. Whether you're a founder in a fresh new company or in the growth team of a fortune 500.

Smart marketers need data and speed, so that's exactly what we gave you with Modash. 100 million influencers and the best audience data in the world at your finger tips.

You just discovered an intuitive search engine that tells you exactly which influencers are speaking to your target audience anywhere in the world. Audience data and contact details at your fingertips.
