New investment in Vilnius-based startup “Walk15”
FO Holding, which is part of the FO Consulting group, is excited about a new investment opportunity – walk15.app. This project has definitely caught the attention of angel investors. It was one of the cases when a start-up had a chance to select investors. And, we are happy that we became one of them.
Our Founder & Attorney, Daina Senapediene, shares why FO Holding decided to support this project.
Well, it’s not just about the idea itself for us; it’s also about the people running it. We believe that success depends on the dedication and expertise of the founders and their team. Vlada and her team show strong motivation and a deep belief in what they’re doing, which is why we’re backing them.
We want to give a big thank you to Vlada Musvydaite, the founder and CEO of Walk15. She’s the mastermind behind the company and works closely with her investors, including us, to make sure we all work together well.
