Kaunas: startups, funding and events

Twenty startups are selected, ten pitching on each day of the conference in front of investors, industry experts and decision-makers. The battle puts winners in front of LitBAN, HealthSeed Venture Studio, imago venture studio and BSV Ventures for investment, and offers a one-week intensive programme in Akron, Ohio meeting universities and venture capitalists, plus fast-track access to LitBAN's monthly pitch event, mentorship, acceleration support and advisory. No cash prize is published. · None taken by the organisers; the named funds and venture studios invest on their own terms.
