Young Entrepreneurs Summer School (YESS) is a condensed, high-intensity startup program for students built around a hackathon, expert-led workshops, on-site visits to leading Estonian companies, and one-on-one mentorship from founders and investors. The entrepreneurship summer school is what brings Europe's most ambitious young builders to Tallinn.
Social events and evening panels this year are built around sport, and the hackathon challenge invites participants to tackle real problems in mass sports participation. Evening activities this year are built around movement and sport.
YESS brings together ambitious young people from across the world for one week in Tallinn. We curate the cohort deliberately: different backgrounds, different countries, different skills. The kind of mix where co-founders find each other and friendships outlast the summer.
- Build a real international network
- Develop entrepreneurial skills through doing, not listening
- Find your people and your co-founder
You'll leave with a sharper sense of how real businesses get built, and a network of peers and mentors who'll outlast the week itself.
The event is organised by Estonian Business School, Startup Wise Guys Foundation and TooEarly Ventures.
