Since the very first day of arrival to Estonia, Draper Startup House turned to be my second home! I found a great community, a great place to be as a young startup entrepreneur, great events with lots of learnings, networking, and fun! Thanks, Indrek, Aale, and the whole DSH team for making my journey far away from home a great experience!
