Welcome to the 53rd episode of the Startup Blender 🎧 Our guest, this time, Ülane Vilumets from Estonia 🇪🇪
Ülane leads the team that is responsible for ecosystem development and partnerships at the e-Residency of Estonia. 🚀
What’s e-Residency you ask? It’s a government-issued digital identity that allows entrepreneurs from anywhere to start and manage a paperless EU-based company fully online. 🛜
Before joining the e-Residency team, Ülane was an entrepreneur and a startup founder herself. 💪
More specifically, she spent 10 years building a travel platform called “Like A Local,” which as the name suggests, helps travelers to experience countries like locals. 🎒
Her entrepreneurship experience is exactly what helps her be good at developing partnerships with international founders at Estonia’s pioneering e-Residency program, where her job involves expansion on their target markets. 🔥
We had a very interesting chat in this episode. We spoke about the first steps in her career, getting into startups and entrepreneurship, and everyday life working at a Governmental Startup, e-Residency. 🙌
Our goal is to interview different people who have working experience in startups to show you the different aspects of startup life.🥁
