Core offering

LIFT99 operates co-working hubs in Tallinn (Telliskivi Hub and RED Hub) and Kyiv that sell workspace memberships, bookable meeting rooms, and group reception packages to startup founders, freelancers, and growing teams. Beyond physical space, it runs a curated founder community anchored by 100+ annual events, mentorship access, a Slack network, and the annual Estonian Startup Awards program, functioning as Estonia's central startup ecosystem hub.

Product overview

LIFT99 is a co-working space and startup community platform with two physical hubs in Tallinn, Estonia (Telliskivi Hub and RED Hub) and one in Kyiv, Ukraine. The company offers flexible co-working memberships (fixed desks, flex desks, day passes, private offices), bookable meeting rooms of various capacities, and group reception packages for ecosystem tours. Beyond physical space, LIFT99 operates the annual Estonian Startup Awards program and maintains a Wall of Fame celebrating successful startups. The platform organizes community events, pitch nights, workshops, and provides networking opportunities for founders, investors, and mentors. The core offering is physical workspace combined with startup ecosystem support rather than a software-as-a-service product.
