The headline is a pooled investor prize of more than EUR 400,000, but it is investment rather than a cheque. The participating funds set their own terms and the organisers do not, so a winner should expect to negotiate, and to give up equity in doing so.
Entrants must be under four years old, actively fundraising and able to show traction. Companies with Russian, Belarusian or North Korean ties are excluded.
The competition is held in Tallinn as part of the Latitude59 conference. Applications for the 2026 edition closed on 15 April 2026, and no call has yet been published for 2027.
