Been in business since I was 14 when I started Estonia's first agricultural website (news, forum, grant info, second hand market, weather combined). After that I've founded, invested and participated in over 50 different businesses. I've managed over 2000 people and I've raised over 50MUSD in equity and 150MUSD in debt.
I locate opportunities, found businesses and scale them. I thrive under stress, I love working hard, I'm very self-dependant and self-driven.
