We’re on the map - again! 🌍
Startup House Riga and our amazing community just got featured in an article by Michaël Aussems on IT daily 🎉

Big thanks to Michaël Aussems & Krista Krumina (Truesix) for visiting us and capturing the energy of our ecosystem!

Anyone starting a business in Latvia thinks internationally from day one. Why is that, and what can the rest of the EU learn from it?

Startups don’t grow in isolation.
They grow because of people who show up, share stories, grill, cheer, and just be themselves.

Scroll through the moments from past years - this is the vibe we’re keeping alive.
Come join, meet great people, and be part of it again.
