Seed Start-up Growth Turnaround

The average investment value for all stages is at 0.9M EUR. Lithuanian funds are limiting their maximum investment into one company at 3M EUR, as is imperative by structural funding requirements by EU.

Lithuanian funds are allocating most of its funds into companies that already have an estab-lished revenue and client bases. Investments in seed stage companies are frequent, yet significantly smaller (average invest-ment of 0.2M EUR).

High number of investments into seed stage companies can be explained by the recent boom in start-up culture in Lithuania.
