Yesterday LitBAN's Managing Director Roberta Rudokiene had the pleasure of participating in the Seeds of Bravery startup pitches. It was inspiring to learn more about the innovative Ukrainian startups tackling challenges ranging from mental health to mine clearing. LitBAN is committed to supporting the Ukrainian startup ecosystem and looks forward to helping these ventures secure investments from Lithuanian business angels. A big thank you to our corporate member Sunrise Tech Park for the kind invitation! #startups #businessangels

Weekend spent at Hospiton.lt was all about impact! 🌟 Our COO, Sigita Zuloniene, had the honor of mentoring and being part of the jury at the "Hospiton. Cancel Cancer" Final Pitch Session. Tackling cancer prevention is no small task, and the ideas and drive we saw from these teams were truly inspiring. At Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN, we know that solving big challenges like this starts with a great idea—but turning that idea into a sustainable business takes lots of efforts. That’s why we’re always happy to share our experience and help founders focus on the essentials: right market fit, business part while building a product and importance of monetization. 🚀 Events like this highlight how innovation can change lives, and we’re here to support startups with the ambition to make a difference. Got a early stage #startup? Let’s talk. #hospiton #CancelCancer #Hackathon

It's fantastic to see how actively our Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN members, Coinvest Capital and Rita Sakus, are investing in and supporting the growth of Ligence — a 🇱🇹 startup dedicated to improving cardiovascular disease diagnostics. And of course - applause to the star of the day - Ligence! 🌟 Your commitment is helping to drive innovation and progress in healthcare! 🚀
Coinvest Capital has joined Polish VC fund @Simpact Ventures and other co-investors in a new funding round by contributing €1.15 million of venture capital to @Ligence, a #DeepTech and #MedTech portfolio company. Following this investment, the Fund's total shareholding in the company's equity grew to 19.67% and the Fund remains the largest investor. This round represents a second co-investment, this time made on a pari-passu basis (at equal terms with other co-investors).

🍁 November’s Pitch Event Recap! 🍁 Yesterday, our Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN community gathered for a monthly event full of insights, stories, and startup pitches! Special guest Vaidas Adomauskas shared his journey—the highs, lows, and everything in between—of founding startups and investing in early-stage companies. His advice on spotting potential and the key traits to look for in founders gave us all something to think about! LitBAN’s member Alex Gibb also shared his unexpected path from investor to startup board game creator, showing us that the entrepreneurial journey comes in many forms! And, of course, the main event: 6 startup teams took the stage to pitch their ideas, each bringing innovation and fresh energy. 🔥 #BusinessAngel #Startups #PitchEvent #Networking

Kudos to Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN co-founder and board member Martynas Kandzeras for sharing valuable insights into the everyday realities of startup life and highlighting key mistakes that can arise during growth and fundraising.
"Young business creators often fall into a trap: they become so enamored with their idea that they forget who it is meant for. For such startup founders, it no longer matters if their product truly meets consumers' needs or solves a specific problem. But this is a critical mistake, as the most important investor is the startup’s customer," says Martynas Kandzeras, co-founder and board member of the Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN and an investor. What groundwork should young business creators complete, and why can't investment be a startup’s sole objective? This is discussed in the third episode of the series “Thinking Errors in Business”: https://lnkd.in/d7GNmneG 0:00:00 – Introduction 0:01:04 – How does a love for the product develop, and where is the paradox? “When creating a product, you must love it unconditionally but remember it’s not meant for you.” 0:04:15 – How to detach from the product you're creating? “It’s crucial to distinguish between your opinion and a fact.” 0:05:11 – How to verify if your product will have a place in the market? “Ask a customer who doesn’t know you.” 0:08:34 – Why do many startups initially present their idea to investors? “The real investor is your customer.” 0:10:39 – What mistakes do startups make after securing investment? “The real work begins once you receive investment.” 0:13:22 – On the importance of service to a startup’s success: “Customer, employee, investor – it’s important to meet each of their needs and create value for them.” 0:16:11 – What question should a person ask themselves before starting a startup? 0:17:45 – Martynas Kandzeras’ recommendation. The program "The Gene of the Future" is broadcast on Žinių radijas.

Yesterday, the angels of Lithuanian Business Angel Network LitBAN and accredited members of Coinvest Capital had the privilege of hearing from the globally renowned board consultant, Dr. Peter Crow, in what turned out to be a highly insightful and engaging session. With 20+ years of experience, Peter shared practical insights on how boards can become strategic partners to startups. He joined us in person, giving our founders and investors the chance to engage in an interactive fireside chat. And despite being miles away in Prague, outstanding startup expert Viktorija Trimbel seamlessly moderated online. Proof that when we want to share knowledge and create value for #businessangels, #investors and #startups, nothing can stop us! We extend big THANK YOU for govern& and Jurate Stanisauskiene who helped us organizing this event.
