Investor Day — sTARTUp Day - Most Startup-Minded Business Festival

Investor Day

On January 28, step into the heart of the investor community – Investor Day is your gateway to real investor talks. Join the most active angel investors and venture capitalists as they share their personal stories. This event is exclusively for investors. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversations!
2025 was a demanding year of contrasts: busy, uncertain, and filled with both setbacks and progress, but with a sense of momentum building toward better days. At Investor Day, we invite you to network with fellow investors, share your experiences, learn from each other, and set the stage for a promising 2026 investment landscape. 

We’ve also planned insightful talks and entertainment to make sure you’d feel both elevated by and busy with new ideas while leaving enough room for networking and creating meaningful contacts.

Investor Day 2026 will take place from 15:00 to 19:00 at the Estonian National Museum, B-side entrance.



The complete agenda, organized by EstBAN and EstVCA, will be announced in December! 

After Investor Day, stay at the venue and join us at our VIP Reception. To finish your night off with the cherry on top, we welcome you to the sTARTUp Day Song Festival!




Investor Day 2026 takes place at the Estonian National Museum, B-entrance, and is powered by EstBAN.
