Estonia shouldn’t stop at being a startup hub. It’s time to become the HQ capital of Europe.
This isn’t just about tech or business—it’s about national security and global relevance.
We have what it takes. Let’s play to win.

Listened to Pacino 'Any Given Sunday'. Have to quote good advice that sure applies to #startups facing upcoming crisis: We can climb outta hell… one inch at a time! ...The inches we need are everywhere around us. They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second. :)
Great to be business traveling more often, happy taking a look at the up and coming innovation at STARTUPLAB in Oslo Science Park and yes, you should reach out to me :) #thorgate #waybiller #thorgateventures #thankful #startuplab #oslosciencepark #forskningsparken

Made me smile, it's funny because it's true :)
Still, some investors just don't know how some parts actually work ;)
