As Summer Olympics in Rio are set to end in just 6 days, we’re introducing the very first greatest games for startups in Europe – Startup Olympics Vilnius 2016! Event will be hosted on 25 of August in VGTU’s Linkmenų Fabrikas.

Meet one of our first participants – the international money transfer company TransferGo! According to company’s Head of Brand and Communications Guste Sadaunykaite, TransferGo team is already training hard and is feeling proud to be participating in the first ever Startup Olympics.

"We are ready to represent record-breaking speed as we practise with our money transfers every day! Also, we’ve been waiting for the opportunity to show off our excellent table football and beer pong skills, too, as we’ve been training for years during our afterwork drinks. TransferGo has sponsored many Startup Lithuania events over the past few years and now we’re looking forward to celebrating with the rest of the community how much we’ve grown within this friendly competition, while building closer relationships and cheering up the best of the best!", – says Guste.
