võimalikdama

võimalikdama is an Estonian digital platform that connects individuals with local projects and small enterprises. Founded in 2021 by a group of entrepreneurs and social innovators, the platform aims to make funding and support more accessible to the community. The name combines the Estonian word “võimalik,” meaning “possible,” with “dama,” which conveys the act of giving or enabling.

The service operates through a web‑based interface where project creators can submit proposals and potential supporters can browse opportunities. Users are able to pledge funds, share resources, or volunteer time. In addition to financial contributions, the platform offers a marketplace for professional services such as marketing, design, and legal advice, encouraging collaborative growth.

Since its launch, mahdollikdama has facilitated over 3,000 projects across Estonia, ranging from renewable energy installations to cultural festivals. Feedback from participants indicates that the platform enhances transparency and reduces administrative costs by streamlining communication between stakeholders.

In 2023, mahdollikdama partnered with the Estonian Ministry of Entrepreneurship to pilot a regional initiative in the Pärnu and Viljandi regions, aiming to foster local economic resilience. The partnership includes training modules that help project owners develop sustainable business models and secure additional funding sources.

The platform is funded through a hybrid model that includes a modest transaction fee on successful projects, sponsorships from corporate partners, and public grants. Its user interface prioritizes accessibility, supporting multiple languages and mobile optimization.

Future plans announced by the founders include expanding the platform’s reach to neighboring Baltic states, incorporating blockchain technology for transparent fund tracking, and launching a dedicated mobile app to increase user engagement.
