Allan Martinson
Allan, a technology entrepreneur and investor from Estonia, has been working with amazing teams in more than ten tech and media companies in his career. All of them have had one thing in common - a quest to disrupt the status quo, create new industries from scratch or change the way things are being done. He strongly believes the companies must have an answer to the question "Why".
