Hedman Partners advised Upgraded Technologies on how to enter the accelerator and assisted with a share swap, whereby the Estonian company became the subsidiary of a US-based enterprise. Upgraded Technologies, helmed by Hendrik Roosna, has created a platform for bringing more efficiency to the leasing market through binding finance and insurance. Upgraded is the first Estonian fintech startup to enter YCombinator, and only the second Estonian company overall, following Click&Grow's successful tour of the accelerator in 2005.
