The TechChill Founders Battle winner gets €10,000 “no-strings-attached”, supported by eazyBI!

eazyBI is turning 15 this year, and to mark the milestone they’re doing something that genuinely matters for early-stage teams: supporting a €10,000 no-strings-attached cash prize for the TechChill Founders Battle winner, announced on the TechChill Riga stage during our 15th edition event.

What does “no strings attached” mean for an early stage founder? It’s money you can use where you need it most. No category restrictions, no forced spend, no equity given away. Pay the invoices, cover a key tool, invest in your first hire, bring the team together, or buy yourself time to build, whatever moves the company forward right now.

Because if anyone understands what those early days feel like, it’s a team that’s lived them. eazyBI started the same way many of today’s founders are starting now, and that’s exactly why they’re backing founders at the beginning of the journey.

"Fifteen years ago, eazyBI started just like most startups and participants of this competition. We want and are able to support someone who is just at the beginning of this journey, which is why we have decided to award €10,000 to a TechChill startup competition winner," explains Raimonds Simanovskis, founder and CEO of eazyBI.

eazyBI is data analysis and visualization software that can be used to obtain data from various data sources, create reports, graphs, and overviews, and then analyze this data. The company has now grown from a start-up to a business with a turnover exceeding €11 million in 2024 and this prize is a simple, powerful way to give something back to the next generation of founders.

The money is a huge part of winning Founders Battle and it can make an immediate difference. But it’s the visibility that makes it last. Being on the TechChill stage puts you in front of VCs, angels, executives, and ecosystem leaders and the conversations during the event, plus the people who come up to you afterwards, can shape what you do next, who you build with, and where you focus. Often, that’s what helps founders use the prize in the smartest way, on the right hires, the right partnerships, and the right next step.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to go for it in 2026, this is it.
