We are on a mission to democratize startup acceleration for anyone

How we got here

story
Freshmango was founded in 2020 in Estonia—the world’s most advanced digital society. Surrounded by an ecosystem where 99% of public services are online and "unicorn" tech companies are the standard, we saw firsthand what happens when technology is used to execute flawlessly, not just to generate hype. We realized that this level of digital velocity shouldn't be confined to the Baltics; we needed to export it to founders globally.

We started with a clear mission: to demystify AI, strip away the buzzwords, and help businesses solve real operational bottlenecks. But as we scaled, we identified a massive flaw in how startups were being built and funded. Traditional accelerators were too slow, and venture capital was too disconnected from daily product execution. Founders were wasting months building the wrong things. So, we built our own infrastructure to fix it.

Today, Freshmango is a complete digital ecosystem operating at the intersection of rapid execution and capital deployment. Driven by our mission to democratize startup acceleration for anyone, we refuse to just be advisors. Through our accelerator and syndicate, we build, accelerate, and fund.

Ekaterina Yamshchikova
Startup Growth Lead

For the past several years I've been embedded in the European VC ecosystem, working across pre-seed and Series A stages, both on the investment side and in the trenches with portfolio companies on challenges like market expansion, product strategy, and growth. My background is in corporate digital strategy, IT transformation, and HR tech entrepreneurship, giving me a valuable perspective from both sides of the table. I'm driven by seeing startups win. I find motivation in enabling growth and contributing to the ecosystem on a global scale, shaped by an international mindset through living and working across multiple continents.

I have a background VC, startups, and Big4 advisory, backed by Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Finance. As a VC, I have led 32 early-stage deals totaling €30 million. Having seen the investment process from both sides, I now help startups prepare for funding rounds with clarity and confidence (pitch decks and pitching, financial budgets and projections, cap tables, valuations, term sheet & investment agreements, market analysis and market sizing, fundraising & investor identification, and other tips & tricks on decoding VCs language and thinking.
