Today we had very interesting and informative Business Angels breakfast with Apolinaras Sinkevicius who shared his knowledge and experience about attracting US Venture investments. It doesn't seem an easy process, but we hope that this session made it a bit clearer and indicated what to expect. Thank you Apolinaras Sinkevicius for your time and knowledge sharing. Thanks Coinvest Capital for cooperation and great event coorganisation. Huge thanks to Workland Offices for your space and our event hosting! #startups #businessangels #usa

Our Board member Rita Sakus gave an interview to YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company) about Lithuania. We're happy and proud that she's a true ambassador of Lithuania, LitBAN and our startup ecosystem. Some quotes: "Considering the UN's latest happiness report showing that we are the happiest in the group of young people under 30, I see a bright future for Lithuania." "In ten years, when today's young adults make up a larger proportion of the population, everything points to us being the world's happiest country." "An important aspect has been that life improves for everyone. Your success is not at the expense of someone else, but the entire society develops in a positive direction". "In the past 10 years, there has been a huge gap between how things used to be and how they are now. This is especially true for those working in tech companies. Things are actually going really well for them". https://lnkd.in/dsvH64yC

We have a bunch of great ideas and can start thinking about implementing them. The whole session was moderated by LitBAN Board member Gytenis Galkis.
