The finalists of the Latitude59 Pitch Competition 2024 are GaltTec, AskToSell, Migrevention, Siffi, and GeoBeholder. The final round for the €1M syndicate by EstBAN and Specialist VC will take place this week in Tallinn, Estonia at Latitude59 2024.

The jury had an exceptionally hard time sieving out the most promising startups from a record-breaking pool of over 500 applicants. After the semifinals, 10 were left in the competiton, and now just 5 have remained standing to pitch on the big stage at the finals. “These companies are a blend of developing impactful technologies and showing strong signs for future revenue growth,” says Samela Kivilo, Senior Associate at SpecialistVC.

Triin Ilves, the Head of Startup Relations at Latitude59 is proud of the selection of this year’s finalists: “Latitude59 stands for impact, resilience, and diversity. I don’t know if it’s coincidental or not, but our TOP5 founders represent all three abovementioned qualities. Their unique point of view adds a lot to the Nordic startup ecosystem and I’m glad to see them grow together with Latitude59. We’ve come a long way from first evaluating over 500 applications to now going through the due diligence process with the TOP5. I truly hope that their early potential is noticed by the investors.”

Latitude59 Pitch Competition is the largest of its kind in the Nordics and Baltics, this year a total of 526 applications from 53 countries were submitted. The final round for the €1M syndicate by EstBAN and Specialist VC will take place on May 24 during Latitude59 2024.
