Vinted, one of the most successful Baltic startups, selected six promising products to take part at the LOGIN Startup Fair after a pitch competition at their headquarters. The winners are: XSense, kindervibe, Sidewalk, Wifigo, Farmis, and Teampact.

Vinted, the social pre-loved fashion marketplace that raised €50M from investors such as Accel Partners, Hubert Burda Media and Insight Venture Partners, is widely considered to be one of the most successful startups in Lithuania and the Baltics. Its founders say they feel committed to the local startup ecosystem and wants to help it to grow. For this reason, Vinted launched a startup battle at its headquarters to claim six spots at the LOGIN Startup Fair.

“When I first met Justas Janauskas, Vinted’s co-founder, I really wanted to talk to him, but he said he didn’t need an investment. I was still eager to talk to him and saw their growth potential. Eventually, Justas agreed to talk, but he was not thinking of investment at that stage, all I saw was a great passion for their idea. So after our first meeting I was sure they will give 200% to accomplish their idea. Thus, when you pitch, don’t think about the money of investment, you must be passionate about what you are doing. If you are, the success will definitely come”, – Mantas Mikuckas, Vinted’s initial angel investor, opened the startup battle 13 companies participated at.
