Startup investments are freezing cold while the investors’ seats are burning hot!

In this legendary pitching event, we’ll get our hands and feet wet to prove the point – startups will show their unearthly skills of pitching and fighting for their business while having cold feet (and cold body), hustling through the icy conditions while investors need to pick fast and choose smart before they overheat in their bubble-bath!

Who is going to have cold feet and who is staying in the boiling water too long to leave, we’ll find out in this treacherous battle for survival – the first ice-hole pitching event (on steroids) in Estonia, the first too-hot-to-handle investor bathtub club.

The event is moderated by Erik Ehasoo, Project Lead of Ajujaht, Estonia’s largest non-equity startup accelerator.

Not sure if you’re up to it? Each participating startup is invited to participate in cold preparation and breathing training by Madis Meister, a Wim Hof Certified trainer. You’ll be well prepared!
