🚀 Lithuania's Unicorn Snowball Effect: 2025 Q1 Update Time for a fresh look at how Lithuania's unicorn alumni are shaping the startup ecosystem! Since my last update in early Q3 2024, here’s what’s new: New startups launched: 📌 Greenie by Gustas Deršonas 📌 Motifind by Edas Lakavicius 📌 Livity by Martynas Narijauskas 📌 Yogen by John Collins 📌 Viddly by Gedas Dabužinskas 📌 GMotISE by Vitalii Ekert 📌 Logitan by Saulius Krygeris 📌 Blizy by Paulius Sadauskas 📌 + 1 stealth startup 😉 Startups that were missing in the last scheme and added to the networks: ✅ AgroSync by Lukas Grigaravičius & Eividas Šakalys ✅ AmpereLink by Amandas Slabšys & Gabriele Akstinaite ✅ Jellydator by Simon Keliuotis ✅ Kumite Technology by Nikita Svesnikov ✅ Kodo Linija by Tomas Varaneckas ✅ LupaSearch by Paulius Nagys ✅ isLucid by Alius Petraška ✅ ShareFreeze by Julija Vysockytė-Bilevičienė ✅ Sort A Brick by Aurimas Slapšys ✅ Sustainalyse by Auste Valikonyte ✅ VUGENE by Gražina Mykolaitytė ❌ Tipit was removed from the network due to closure New funding rounds: 💰 AgroSync by €140k 💰 Sort A Brick by €950k 💰 isLucid by €265k Key insights & trends: 📈 The unicorn alumni startup count has now reached 34 (27 from Vinted, 7 from Nord Security). These startups have collectively raised €8.8M. 📊 Vinted's first 2nd-gen startup is here! LupaSearch was founded by an alumnus of PassCamp, which was founded by Vinted's alumna. The snowball keeps rolling. ⏳ 7-8 years – That’s how long it took to see the first wave of unicorn alumni launching startups. A reminder that ecosystems need patience to see compounding effects! ⚡ Vinted’s network is accelerating quite fast. Nord Security is following similar pattern! 🔍 In 2023, Dealroom's Europe and Israel Founder Factories Report ranked Vinted 151st unicorn for alumni-founded startups, counting just 3, but I counted 27. By my estimate, Vinted should be 17th. 📢 €340M in Vinted secondary sales in 2024 – Expect more startup launches as liquidated equity fuels the ecosystem! Methodology (based on Dealroom.co’s approach): ✅ Founders must have worked full-time at the parent unicorn for 5+ months. ✅ The startup must have been launched within 6 years of leaving the unicorn. 🚫 Agency, consultancy, and biotech companies excluded. 🚫 Alumni founders that were consultants/advisors at parent unicorn excluded. Know an ex-unicorn founder in your network? Send them my way! 😉 #Startups #Innovation #Unicorns #Vinted #NordSecurity #SnowballEffect

We’ve done it — we’re officially royalty! 👑 We are honored (and thoroughly amused) to sit atop 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐕𝐂 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 of 2024. Some might call it an unexpected title, but hey, if you’re going to be on a list, why not wear the crown? 🧱✨ To everyone thinking, “Seriously, AI-powered LEGO brick sorting?” — we hear you. And honestly, we’re laughing right there with you. Being weird means being bold. It means doing something so unexpected that people have to take notice. A big shoutout to FIRSTPICK, Mantas Mikuckas, and our angel investors for showing that backing weirdos and outliers isn’t just a hobby — it’s a strategy. Peter Thiel would probably nod in approval and say, “Now this is contrarian thinking done right.” 😊 Sifted and Éanna Kelly, thank you for making our day! We’d love to extend an 🌟exclusive invitation🌟 for you to try our brick-sorting service and see firsthand why this needs to be so hi-tech. Not that we want to lose the crown, but come on — let’s bust some myths together. #WeirdAndProud #SortABrick #BrickByBrickInnovation
