In the fast-paced world of startups, finding a platform that not only supports but accelerates growth is often the keystone to success. Kloosive, a dynamic startup at the forefront of providing automated accessibility solutions, stands as evidence of the far-reaching impact of such platforms. Their participation in the Startup Lithuania Accelerator Program powered by Plug and Play, particularly as part of its inaugural batch, unveiled opportunities that have been nothing short of transformational. We spoke with Viktorija Ramanauskaite, CEO & Co-Founder of Kloosive.  

A Leap of Faith into Accelerated Growth 

For Kloosive, the decision to join the Startup Lithuania Accelerator powered by Plug and Play, was driven by a clear vision: to tap into a global network ripe with mentors, industry experts, and potential investors. Plug and Play’s global reputation, grounded in a unique approach to nurturing startups, made it an irresistible venture. 

The experience thus far has been a whirlwind of growth, learning, and insightful encounters. In just a few weeks, they’ve seen tangible improvements across several fronts: 

• Expert Mentorship: Direct access to industry leaders has allowed us to refine our strategies, making our approach more robust and adaptable to the market’s nuances. 
• Valuable Networks: “The opportunity to connect with the right entities – whether partners, investors, or fellow startups – has opened up avenues we had not anticipated. The sense of community within the batch has fostered a culture of mutual support and shared success” mentioned Viktorija. 
• Increased Credibility: getting related to the Plug and Play brand has bolstered our credibility significantly, especially during discussions with larger corporations. 
• Operational Support: The perks of the program, including taking the operational burden off their shoulders, have enabled them to focus on what they do best. 

Personalized Mentorship and Networking 

Perhaps one of the most significant benefits has been the personalized mentorship tailored specifically to their needs. “The immediate application of insights from these sessions has proven invaluable”, she said. “Networking, facilitated by the program, has placed us in conversations with potential clients that would have been difficult to initiate independently. Furthermore, the practical methodology imparted by lecturers on various business aspects has strengthened our fundamental operations.” 

The Value of a Supportive Ecosystem 

The caliber of mentors and the actionable knowledge shared during the program have underscored the importance of being part of such an empowering ecosystem. It’s a game-changer that has opened our eyes to the multitude of possibilities lying ahead, particularly as we look forward to the Expo day—an event set to showcase our progress and unlock further opportunities.
