Previous Fifty
Founder Battle winners at TechChill include well known and successful Baltic
startups such as Infogr.am, TrackDuck, Edurio, Nordigen, Sprayprinter and last
year’s winner Precision Navigation Systems.
“Winning Fifty
Founder Battle reinforced us a lot in credibility, awareness, and funding
areas. We got appreciated by the startup community leaders, drastically
increased our media coverage, attracted a lot of attention from investors. It's
not that easy to find investors from Eastern Europe, unless you have stable
revenue streams. Hence the prize helped us a lot to bootstrap our business
further,” shares last year’s winner Simon Litvinov, CEO and co-founder of Precision
Navigation Systems.
TechChill has
grown to become one of the leading tech, startup and entrepreneurship
inspiration events in the region. TechChill 2020 agenda will focus on
technologies that will impact our lives in the upcoming five years: blockchain,

20-21, 2020, the event in Riga will host 2000 international attendees,
