It is a lot of snow around us here in Tallinn , but it is right time for business building for companies who intend to launch products in springtime. We are delighted to run a springboard panel for Raybike next Wednesday Dec 12. It is a three wheel kick scooter who won Ajujaht business plan contest, but still needs extra kicks to go faster!

Getting around on a Raybike is fast and smooth thanks to the big wheels and crazy-good bearings. No ordinary scooter comes close. You don’t even have to push to keep moving – just wave, as they do on a longboard.

Think big, act small, scale fast—sounds like good good advice applicable for most of the start-up’s!!

On top of that our springboard company, and last seasons's Ajujaht finalist M&R Boatart received loads of feedback and advice to sharpen up strategy, product positioning and distribution. We were lucky to have really good panel with deep insights in the boating domain.
Thank you very much for everyone in our panel and we wish M&R Boatart all the good luck introducing the Cumulus 164 boat to the market!

We are excited to run a springboard panel for M&R BoatArt OÜ.

This company has set sail with the mission to make sailing much more affordable and easier to start for a wide base of beginners and to do that they are introducing Cumulus 164 to the market.

We run this springboard in co-operation with Connect Oestlanded from Norway with Øystein Bredal-Thorsen joining our expert panel.

The team behind M&R BoatArt OÜ was one of the finalists in Biz plan competition "Ajujaht" last year. We are just thrilled by the enthusiasm and commitment of the founding team.

We had a great pleasure running a springboard panel for Cognuse yesterday.

Cognuse has launched a product to make a difference of cognitive rehabilitations for those who have suffered from stroke, brain injuries or illnesses harming cognitive abilities.

It is always emotionally touching to see a company pursuing opportunity with aim to substantially improve the quality of someone’s life.

We wish you good luck, Andres Mellik and Cognuse team!
