On November 22nd, Wallester secured its spot on the iconic #EstonianMafia Wall of Fame at LIFT99 Tallinn Hub – a significant moment for any Estonian startup. This recognition highlights Wallester’s impact on the local startup ecosystem and its contribution to the economy.
“The #EstonianMafia Wall of Fame represents what we have built together with our team and clients,” says Sergei Astafjev, CEO of Wallester. “We started as a small startup with big dreams, and while we have grown into a fintech leader, our goal stays the same – creating technology that makes finance work better for businesses across Europe and beyond.
💡 LIFT99: The heartbeat of Estonia’s startup ecosystem
LIFT99 stands as a unique startup space. Founded by Ragnar Sass, the hub has become a critical platform for Estonia’s most ambitious entrepreneurs. The Wall of Fame captures the stories of the country’s most iconic unicorns – companies that have made a global impact, including legendary names like Skype, Bolt, Wise, and Pipedrive. Each logo represents a milestone in Estonia’s remarkable tech journey.
To earn a spot here, startups must demonstrate exceptional growth, innovative practices, and a commitment to the broader entrepreneurial community. Wallester’s inclusion reflects our profound impact. The criteria remain high: consistent financial performance, groundbreaking solutions, and a solid track record of supporting both local and international startup development.
The ceremony coincided with Wallester’s Mission Day, making the achievement even more meaningful. Midway through the event, our team visited the LIFT99 hub, where CEO Sergei Astafjev delivered an inspiring speech, expressing pride in joining the ranks of renowned Estonian companies. Marking this special moment, Sergei placed Wallester’s logo plate on the Wall of Fame, a gesture that symbolizes a new chapter in the company’s story – one that will be remembered for years to come.
