We’re incredibly proud to welcome an exceptional lineup of global investors to Latitude59 this year. From the iconic Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia Capital to European powerhouses like Balderton, Lakestar, and DTCP, and regional champions such as OTB Ventures, Flashpoint VC, and NordicNinja, their presence is a testament to the growing importance of the New Nordics and Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) in the global innovation landscape.

These funds span diverse sectors—cybersecurity, AI, dual-use tech, deep tech, impact, and venture debt—reflecting the breadth and depth of innovation in our region. Their active participation is yet another confirmation that Estonia and Latitude59 are central to Europe’s and the world’s startup ecosystems.

Latitude59 is more than just a tech conference; it’s a global village with a clear mission: to support and empower early-stage founders. We are founder-first, unapologetically early-stage, and radically collaborative. Our vision is to create an ecosystem where startups from emerging regions can connect directly with the capital, experience, and support they need to scale. The caliber of investors joining us affirms this vision, and we warmly invite more to be part of this transformative journey.

As traditional, investors can be found throughout the event setup. We have impactful funds like a16z, Dawn capital, Plural, Sequoia and others taking the stage (PS. don’t miss the Pitch Confidential segment on the Founder Stage to see outstanding investors “eat their own dog food” as they deliver their best elevator pitch and stand their ground in a heated Q&A round). We have investor-led side events all through the week of Latitude59. We have workshops and roundtables to dive into discussion and get personal. We have the traditional and highly popular Matchmaking area powered by Karma Ventures where many have closed impactful deals over the years (not to mention the equally tradtional Karma Run for a morning stretch right before the conference buzz). 

A solid highlight of the side event track and the Day 0 happenings is the Investor Day & Investor Dinner, taking place on May 21 in Noblessner (powered by Invest Estonia; registration open for Investor Ticket holders directly). A newcomer to the investor-oriented events is the LP&GP After-Hours gathering, also taking place on May 21 (invitation only).

We are deeply grateful to all our partners—funds that not only invest in startups but also invest in the ecosystem itself. Their support ensures that events like Latitude59 can thrive, continue to drive innovation and create a real impact in the world.
