18 batches, 3500 applications, 100+ startups, 18 countries...

...and Growing.

The Buildit journey began in 2013 in Estonia as the first hardware-focused accelerator in the Nordics. Over the past 11 years, we’ve evolved from offering €10,000 seed tickets to becoming a full-fledged venture capital fund capable of investing up to €1.5 million in visionary startups.

Our story is one of growth, resilience, and transformation. We’ve been alongside startups as they’ve soared to success, navigated complex challenges, and sometimes faced setbacks. Just like them, we’ve grown—through tough times and triumphs alike. This shared journey shapes the expertise we bring to the table.

At Buildit, we specialize in accelerating hardware and IoT startups, helping them scale faster and smarter. From refining prototypes into market-ready products to securing substantial investments, we empower entrepreneurs to turn bold ideas into tangible realities. With us, startups don’t just grow— they thrive.
