Last weekend, we had an opportunity to attend the grand hackathon organized by basedspace_ and Cursor in the heart of Vilnius, Lithuania 🇱🇹

Right as we stepped into the venue, we could just feel the dynamic environment of builders discussing their ideas and deciding what solutions to work on throughout the event.

Imagine, 100+ individuals coming together to work on developing the craziest ideas over the weekend.. just magical.

The overall experience was nothing short of fascinating, and we'd love to tell you all about it in this article.

Here we go – we are kicking off a fresh new season of the Startup Blender podcast!!

Our guest in this episode is Adil Mania – a Paris-based tech dude who makes dreaming in EU cool again through Anomalie Space.

Think of Anomalie Space as a home for tech. This is where the dreamers, makers, creators, and innovators of our age come together to build some cool stuff. Sounds awesome, doesn’t it?

And, btw, our focus for the upcoming episodes will be interviewing builders and creators – people with crazy ideas that the world (or at least our listeners) should definitely know about. Stay tuned 👀

Who knows.. maybe all these interviews could be an inspiration for another Startup Weekend event in Tallinn this year.

Let's just say hackathon is our most favourite place to hang out ✨

Imagine, all of the builders, creators, innovators, and tech enthusiasts in one place working on solving a particular problem... just inspiring, isn't it?!

A couple of weeks ago, we had an opportunity to organize another hackathon event for the Young Entrepreneurs School from Startup Wise Guys and Estonian Business School.

Experience was fabulous and legendary – 6 teams of young passionate entrepreneurs building solutions from scratch over the weekend and getting the first taste in the whole world of startups.

Again... inspiring!!

Thanks to everyone for joining 🧱 see you next time!

What are the key similarities between entrepreneurs and artists?

This is the question we asked on our latest hackathon final event to the president of Bolt, Jevgeni Kabanov.

Turns out, artists, especially musicians, are at least 10 times more hustlers than entrepreneurs.

If you think about it, both of these characters have to take high risks to achieve their goals, they both need to be extremely creative in their work, and they need to stay resilient at all times.

Not to mention the relentless obsession to their craft, of course.

However, while entrepreneurs get lots of startup events, hackathons, and conferences they can attend to, it might be much harder to get started for artists.

Something to think about... 💭

Whenever we want to find information about the most vibrant startup communities around Europe, Estonia always seems to appear on the top of the list.

Yes, this tiny country of 1.3 million people has magically managed to build a vibrant startup scene, attract international VC attention, and lead Europe in startups, unicorns, and investments per capita.

The “Land of Unicorns,” as they call it, must have a secret sauce to being such an attractive and charming place for entrepreneurs to test their ideas, and eventually build companies that transform the industry they are in.

So, what's the role of startup hubs in uplifting the overall culture in Estonia?

We had a special, special purpose at this year's Iceland Innovation Week startup festival.

Yes! The goal of that trip was to interview international experts and investigate the current state of the whole "AI taking over the world" promise.

Well, here we are with the results. We've put together an article describing our investigation and showing the thought process behind these experts.

🎙️ Audio recordings of this project will be featured on the Startup Blender podcast and added in this article as well. Stay tuned...
