Join the League of Entrepreneurs during Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) for a special screening of a film on the history of the "First Digital Nation" of Estonia, one of shining stars of the European Union in terms of progressiveness and entrepreneur-friendliness. The film is entitled "Rodeo: Taming a Wild Nation". This film is 77 minutes long, has subtitles in English, and is a documentary by Raimo Jõerand and Kiur Aarma. This film screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Estonian Ambassador to the UK, H.E.Ms Tiina Intelmann.
Please note that this event is NOT organized by the League of Entrepreneurs, rather, we are supporting it as a part of our GEW programming, in recognition for what Estonia has done and will do for entrepreneurs and freelancers from all over the world. GEW just happens to fall during the same week as Estonia Now! in Glasgow. The event is hosted by the University of Glasgow and the Estonian Ministry of Culture and Estonian Embassy in London. Please note that you must register before attending on the event website. Please do so, and know that registering here on this meetup group will not qualify you to attend.
The event is free and you can register here: event.bookitbee.com
We encourage entrepreneurs from all over Scotland to attend and perhaps join us afterwards for a pub visit. We'll head to Brew Dog nearby about 8p. Brew Dog's address is 1397 Argyle St, Glasgow G3 8AN
More about the Film and Event:
"An exclusive screening of the 2018 film documentary Rodeo, set in the years following the first free elections in Estonia since World War II: They have to the surprise of all brought to power young and idealistic political forces. They are led by 32 year old Mart Laar, Europe’s youngest prime minister, who is charged with crafting a country out of chaos.
This is a story about gaining and losing trust, about the widening conflict between idealists and a rising economic elite, when a prime minister’s good options grow fewer by the day. A story of idealists becoming politicians and opponents.

About League of Entrepreneurs
The League of Entrepreneurs (LoE) is a virtual, global network of technology entrepreneurs that shares and communicates on the Slack platform. We believe in data, metrics, lean methodologies, and scientific, disciplined approach to building new global technology ventures rapidly. Amongst other offerings, we host monthly "Ask Me Anything" sessions with Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and venture capitalists on our Slack channel. We also are building local chapters for face-to-face intervention. Our local chapter in Edinburgh was born from CofoundersLab Scotland, founded and organized by Michael Clouser and James Schoemark. We continue same themes as envisioned by CoFoundersLab for its once-international network of local chapters, including creating a positive, motivating environment where entrepreneurs can find cofounders, in the midst of interactive meetings where entrepreneurs are encouraged to "get up and pitch" and tell us about what they are looking for not only in terms of cofounders, but also in terms of mentors, advisors, investors, and interns. We used a combination of straight presentations and Fireside Chats to engage with our guest entrepreneurs, which have included Rob Jones (formerly of Fanduel), Mike Ramsay (founder of Tivo and Silicon Valley venture capitalist with NEA), and local serial and social impact entrepreneur, Daniel Winterstein. We hold monthly meetings in Edinburgh, and are strong supporters of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), hosting and supporting numerous events in Edinburgh and Glasgow during the month of November. We also throw the annual Startups Christmas party for startup professionals, friends and family in Edinburgh, and invite those from all over Scotland to attend. We are currently growing our global network virtually, as well as seeking partners for local chapters around the world.
