Parisa Navabi
CMO at Zelkaa
Time is the most valuable thing in everyone’s life and that’s what we did not waste in the Startup Visa program. We applied for this program at the beginning of 2021, during the process, everything went professionally fast and that helped us to start our expansion in Europe as soon as possible. We gained a lot of valuable help both before and after relocating. So if you are a startup with a valuable product and if time matters to you, we recommend you to apply for the Startup Visa Lithuania program.
Alex Kashkarov
Co-Founder & CEO of Airate
We relocated to Lithuania through the Startup Visa program from the UK, and it was wise because now we apply our machine learning algorithms to a 10x bigger wine market in the EU and we get support from angel investors from all over Europe. Lithuania is one of the most startup-friendly countries as it is digitally advanced and mainly non-bureaucratic. Lead by Startup Lithuania’s professional and vibrant team, our relocation was as smooth as possible. Now, we belong to a community of supportive startup entrepreneurs and easy-to-reach investors.
