I happen to be from Estonia, a small, but fiercely proud country near the Baltic Sea, one with a burgeoning startup scene that’s full of driven, intelligent and hungry entrepreneurs. In Estonia, people who set out to build a great business can’t expect to be greeted with encouragement and support from the broader community.

Slowly but surely, however, we have a quietly emerging ‘ecosystem’ (as it is often called in tech lingo). So is the Dutch tech startup story sold short? But hedonistic pleasures aside, The Netherlands actually has a great foundation for tech entrepreneurship. Not in my view. A top-notch infrastructure.

My wife, Ann, and I took a trip this past spring to visit Estonia, Finland, Ireland and Russia. In Moscow, we attended the twelfth annual Congress of the European Business Angel Network , held April 23-24, at the Digital October technology entrepreneurship center. We also discovered that Estonians love to sing.

I had a degree in Information Technology, had worked as a web developer, tech support guy, account manager, sales person and a marketer. The rent was due. Instead, I decided to package what I know about internet marketing and build an online course for small businesses in Estonia (that’s where I’m from).

Late last week, I wanted to take a step back and review what has transpired the last two years. Some of our most interesting companies have originated in places like Estonia (GrabCAD), Croatia (Farmeron) and Omaha (SkyVu), although all have either moved or have a significant presence in a major tech hub like SF, Boston, or NY.

Over the next 18 years I was lucky enough to live in various corners of the world due to my father’s work (he worked in audit and risk with a big bank). Since then, I have found myself disconnecting from technology more and more just to spend time outdoors without even thinking about it. Natives will appreciate the effort.
