John Galt Finance announces fourth John Galt Forum for founders, executives, and investors.
John Galt Finance announces the 4th edition of John Galt Forum – a curated, invite-level business event bringing together founders, C-level executives, and investors for an evening of candid keynotes, high-impact networking, and real conversations about building and scaling companies.
The event takes place on May 14, 2026, starting at 17:00, at the Golden Gate Business Centre in Tallinn – one of the city’s most striking architectural landmarks, steps from the Old Town, providing a premium backdrop for premium connections.
Where founders talk honestly
John Galt Forum was built on a simple premise: the most valuable business conversations happen when people drop the polished pitch and speak truthfully. The forum’s signature F*ckup & Success Stories format puts real founders on stage to share what actually worked, what didn’t, and what they learned along the way. No empty talk, no panel filler – just sharp, 15-minute keynotes from operators with skin in the game.
With three successful editions and 200+ returning attendees across its history, the forum has established itself as one of the most trusted networking formats in the Baltics.
Speaker lineup
This edition brings together an exceptional group of entrepreneurs and executives:
- Koren Aisenstadt – VP at Pipedrive and Founder of Kortaliya, with 28+ years in product leadership
- Mariliis Mia Topp – Co-Founder & CEO of Raw Edge, early-stage researcher and PhD student
- Dmitrij Żatuchin – Founder & CEO of Rankfor.ai, angel investor, PhD in Computer Science
- Oleg Shvaikovsky – Co-founder of Püha Johannese Kool, Askend, and AI-Leap; EdTech investor and mentor
- Nikolajs Petrovičs – Founder of John Galt Finance, ex-Strategic Finance at Printify, involved in raising $300M+
- Yoad Mick – Founder of Imagym, Fractional CMO, and Imagination Coach
The evening closes with a panel discussion featuring all speakers on stage for an open Q&A, followed by an extended networking session with an open bar.
A room worth being in
The forum limits attendance to approximately 100 participants – deliberately. Quality over volume. Past attendees have described it as one of the few business events in the region where real conversations happen, potential deals take shape, and the energy stays high until the end. Nine sponsor deals were closed across previous editions. Fifty-plus meaningful connections made per event.
Tickets and partners
Tickets are available on the official website. The event is supported by Baltic Business Club and Wallester as General Partners, with crypto.news and CryptoRank as media partners.
