With my business idea I participate at the University of Latvia Student Business Incubator. I also study classical philology at University of Latvia, Faculty of Humanities. My business idea is to produce tools - games, you could even say - excercise machines - who improve fine motor skills. However, this season I did not continue to participate in Business incubator due to the fact that I joined student corporation and I'm also working on my bachelor thesis.

I've gained experience in entrepreneurship through my activities in Business incubator and also in my study course - Business Economics.
