70 B2B meetings, hundreds of business cards, loads of new experience and new level of motivation to work hard and with passion. These are the most important things which Lithuanian startups brought back home from SLUSH.

6 most promising Lithuanian startups were selected to participate in “Startup Lithuania Roadshow 2015” and packed their bags to Helsinki, where SLUSH took place for 8th year in a row.

Below you can find Lithuanian entrepreneur’s impressions from SLUSH, biggest startup’s conference in Northern Europe:

Simonas Stankus, CEO of Ato ID:  I am sure, that if you want to compete not only in Lithuania, but in global market, you must participate in global event. SLUSH is the place where investors, startups, business angels, consultants from all over the world meet each other. Moreover, it is the place where you are able to check how good is your idea while sharing it with all participants and they always will give you some advice.

Gytenis Galkis, co-founder of PulseTip: Startup Lithuania Roadshow  provided a great opportunity to meet investors, potential partners, competitors while introducing to Nordic & Baltic startup ecosystem. More importantly, by participating with Roadshow as a startup you are introduced by a respectable organization and you are branded as a top notch Lithuanian startup. It is worth participating, because it opens investment and business opportunities globally.  

During SLUSH I have learned that investors and executives are interested in business opportunities with people that show ambition, motivation, and are respectful. Never wait for people to come to you, be pro-active and engage in a conversation with them, call investors and invite them for a meeting. Just remember to know what you are looking for and why do you want to talk to them – do homework before calling or inviting for a meeting.

Henrikas Urbonas, co-founder of Interactio:  Startup Lithuania Roadshow expands your international network and it is the most important thing for us. Later it will help you regarding funding or entering new markets or for recruiting. That planning before the event is very important and if you want to have meetings that are important for you, you have to try to book them way before. Before coming you have to have clear vision why are you going there otherwise it might be just a waste of your time and energy.

Startup Lithuania Roadshow is your bridge to the most startup friendly ecosystems in the world. It is dedicated to investor ready startups, which are looking for seed or venture funding. The bridge is being built by Enterprise Lithuania and Startup Lithuania for the third year in a row.
