Our Mission

We're on a mission to transform management practices in Latvia by creating a vibrant community of forward-thinking leaders equipped with innovative skills and perspectives.

At Pixel Progress Guild, we believe that effective management is both an art and a science. Our unique approach combines principles from retro gaming culture—like strategic thinking, resource optimization, and continuous improvement—with cutting-edge leadership methodologies.

We envision a Latvia where organizations thrive through exceptional leadership, fostering innovation, employee engagement, and sustainable growth across all sectors of our economy.

Our History

The evolution of Latvia's most innovative management development community

2018

The Founding

Pixel Progress Guild was founded by a group of five Latvian tech industry managers who recognized the need for a different approach to leadership development. The first meetings were held in a small co-working space in central Riga with just 15 members.

Digital Transformation

As global circumstances changed, we rapidly pivoted to a hybrid model, developing our first digital learning platform and virtual community spaces. This transformation expanded our reach throughout Latvia and established our first international connections.

Corporate Programs Launch

Building on our success with individual managers, we launched our corporate consulting services, bringing our innovative methodologies to organizations across Latvia. Our first partnerships with major Latvian companies established our reputation for delivering measurable results.

Baltic Expansion

We expanded our footprint across the Baltic region, establishing partnerships with management communities in Estonia and Lithuania. Our annual Baltic Management Summit became the premier regional event for forward-thinking leaders.
