We are growing very fast – this is evidenced by our client geography, the attention of international investors, and our portfolio of competencies. Today, we can be proud not only of a fully formed international team of experienced professionals but also of collaboration with scientists. On a global scale, we address the problem of decreasing physical activity in society and the resulting personal health and healthcare system issues at the national level,
Vlada Musvydaite, founder and CEO of Walk15, comments.
- Coinvest Capital, a Lithuanian VC fund investing in companies with business angels, invested in the company together with the NGL syndicate out of 32 angels led by Justinas Pašys, who is also CEO of PVcase.
Walk15 will allocate this investment for expansion into the German market. Already in February the company plans to open the doors of a new office in Berlin.
