There’s a simple truth - you can’t fill all the buckets at once.
This idea comes from Steven Bartlett’s “The Diary of a CEO”, where he describes the Five Buckets Framework, a mindset for building long-term success. The key is to fill them in the right order:
Knowledge→ what you know
Skills→ what you can do
Contacts→ who you know
Resources→ what you have
Reputation→ what you’re known for
Many people start from the end, chasing recognition or resources, but real growth begins with learning and doing. At TechChill, we open doors for those who are ready to learn by doing. No experience needed, just genuine curiosity and drive.
During a 3–6 month journey, you’ll become part of the TechChill team, working side by side with the people who make the leading Baltic startup conference happen. You’ll gain hands-on experience that will open doors into the tech and startup world, where TechChill is a trusted name across Europe and beyond.
This is an experience-based learning opportunity, not a paid position, but the value you gain is real and lasting. Sometimes the best way to grow isn’t by running faster, it’s by filling the right buckets first.
