Helping Startups Grow and Be Good - A Talk with Yrjö Ojasaar from Change Ventures
I had an insightful chat with Yrjö Ojasaar, Investment Partner at Change Ventures, about his experiences investing in early-stage Baltic startups. We discussed common pitching mistakes, responding to rejections, the factors behind Estonian startup success, and why founder obsession with solving customer problems is so important. Yrjö also shared his thoughts on the pros and cons of being a generalist VC and whether AI could replace human VCs.
Check out this video to learn key lessons about startup investing and what investors are looking for in founders. Yrjö's wisdom comes from his diverse career as a lawyer, startup CEO, and now VC.
