About us
Entrepreneurship permeates the culture of the Digital Age.
The advent of the Digital Age has democratized innovation and entrepreneurship.
Never before has it been more possible for anyone from anywhere, with a great idea and a burning desire to succeed, to make it big, and, in the process, change the world in a relatively short period of time.
HP, Intel, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, Google, Facebook and many, many, many other iconic companies all started with just an idea.
Taking a startup from idea to IPO has taken on mythical proportions in Silicon Valley and beyond. Many dream the dream, with hopes of launching the "next big thing".
We are a community of entrepreneurs, technologists, academics, financial professionals, corporate executives, attorneys, academics, bloggers, writers, content creators, and social activists.
One of the compelling features of our meetup group is our packed, busy calendar full of informative programs and practical activities designed to help our entrepreneurial members achieve their objectives and realize their aspirations. Taking advantage of this vast array of relevant content will make you a better entrepreneur.
We believe in working together. We share resources, exchange ideas, and actively network with each other. We participate in on-line as well as off-line events.
Our events feature expert speakers, networking opportunities, collaboration, community, and fellowship.
This meetup group is part of “Latvia Tech and Entrepreneurship meetup network” organized by Riga High Tech University (RHTU) foundation. The goal of meetup network is to establish and develop technology and entrepreneurship ecosystem of Latvia.

AI skills are no longer optional—but learning them doesn’t require a technical background or months of tutorials.
In this live session, Albert’s List teams up with Scott Simson, founder of AI Marketing World, to show how professionals are using vibe coding to build real AI projects, develop in-demand skills, and ship usable MVPs—fast.
This is a practical, beginner-friendly walkthrough, not a theory talk.### What You’ll Learn
- The top AI tools to focus on in 2026 (and which ones to ignore)
- What “vibe coding” actually means—and why it works for non-technical builders
- How to identify high-leverage software niches where simple AI products win
- How to build AI workflows and apps with zero prior coding experience
- How to go from idea → prototype → MVP in days, not months
- What to do after you build: validation, iteration, and next steps
- How these skills translate into career leverage, consulting, or side projects
### Who This Event Is For
- Job seekers looking to future-proof their skills
- Marketers, operators, and product-adjacent professionals
- Non-technical builders who want to ship real AI projects
- Anyone curious about AI but overwhelmed by the technical barrier
