About Veljo Otsason

Veljo Otsason co-founded Estonian mobile services company Mobi Solutions in 2001 before becoming a full-time investor at Superangel, where he works with the same entrepreneurial partners from his operating days across both building and investing careers. He champions deeptech and future-tech in the Nordics/Baltics through dedicated programs while staying deeply embedded in the startup community through hackathons, accelerators, and university programs rather than only traditional VC activities.

Veljo Otsason's Interests

What they've been talking about across their social media accounts
  • A strong focus on the growth and success of the Estonian and broader Nordic startup ecosystems. Continuously highlights regional achievements, such as Tallinn being ranked highly for quality of life and the success of local tech hubs. For example, enthusiastically celebrated the acquisition of Pipedrive as a major milestone for the local ecosystem comparable to early monumental tech successes in the region.
  • Dedicated to organizing intensive accelerator programs for early-stage founders through the Superangel fund. Frequently encourages startups to apply for hands-on initiatives like Base Camp hackathons and the year-long Alpine House training program, emphasizing the value of connecting builders with top-tier mentors to rapidly scale their products.
  • Advocates for advancing artificial intelligence innovation and technical education across Europe. Believes that the European Union needs to foster more AI startups rather than over-regulating the space too early, and actively pushes for multiplied investments in STEM programs at educational institutions like the University of Tartu to keep European tech talent competitive globally.
  • Interested in companies transforming transportation and logistics through robotics and autonomous mobility. Points to Estonia as a hub for robotic transformation and publicly celebrates major funding rounds for autonomous delivery companies like Starship Robots, alongside the continued expansion of mobility platforms like Bolt.
  • Monitors opportunities in the real estate technology and smart city sectors. Notes that venture capital is increasingly flowing into real estate startups and shows interest in urban innovation, pointing to large-scale tech-driven neighborhood development projects in Toronto as prime examples of how technology can reshape urban environments.

Superangel is founded and run by repeat unicorn builders who were among the very first backers of Pipedrive and Bolt, giving them deep pattern recognition with Estonia's most successful founders and a reputation as an Estonian unicorn whisperer fund. The fund has built a distinctive honey badger founder brand, running extreme pitch formats like pitching while ice-drifting or skydiving to select for fearless, relentlessly driven founders, and operates as both a regional deep-tech specialist and community infrastructure builder through initiatives like co-creating Palo Alto Club and running Base Camp growth hackathons.
