Description

Episode 6 is for all you startup and entrepreneurship enthusiasts! Our guest is BAFF Alumnus Kalev Kaarna – a scientist turned entrepreneur from Estonia. Kalev participated in the BAFF Research Sholar program in 2015 when he spent a year at Arizona State University, researching how to enhance the impact of entrepreneurship programs and courses in universities. But that was only the beginning. Kalev immersed himself fully into business, entrepreneurship, and startup field and is now an investor and start-up coach at Superangel, an early stage Venture Capital Fund. How very suiting, as Kalev titles himself a superfan of all tech startup founders. In this episode we discuss:

  • How he got into science and how he decided to leave it behind?
  • Why can’t we afford Estonian entrepreneurs to burn out?
  • What does the Estonian giving-back mentality mean?
  • What is the most frequently asked question that Kalev gets about venture capital?
  • What is the power law in startup investing?

 So, if you're curious about the world of entrepreneurship and want to hear some valuable insights from a seasoned pro, tune in to this journey Beyond BAFF!
