Lithuania has a real angel scene. Unicorn founders now back startups. A national network pools the rest. Here are 11 angels and early backers funding Vilnius startups in 2026.
Vilnius has built real unicorns, and the founders behind them now invest their own money. That capital comes with hard-won operating experience, not just a cheque.
A national network pools angels and backs many deals across the city each year. Alongside it, micro-funds write the first cheques that get a company off the ground.
The early-stage scene here runs deep, so you will pitch both individual angels and small funds. Ellty puts all your data behind one link, so every backer sees the same clean story.

Start free 14-day trialWhat an angel backs here
An angel here backs the founder first, and conviction in that person drives the cheque. The market matters, but the team is what closes the round.
They move fast on small rounds, and pre-seed is where they feel most at home. A clear, honest ask wins them over far quicker than a polished pitch with no substance.
A tidy fundraising file makes that ask easy to say yes to. Ellty gives each backer one link, so you can see exactly who opens your deck.
Our syndicate of 33 angels backed Axiology because its blockchain solution will democratize bond investing for retail investors.

Why founders back founders
Vinted and Nord Security made fortunes, and the people who built them now invest. Their teams write cheques into the next wave of Vilnius startups.
They bring cash and real operating advice in equal measure. Operator scars beat textbook theory when you hit your first hard quarter.
Show them a clean, well-run process and they will lean in. See our Vilnius fintech guide too, and let Ellty log who actually reads your numbers.
How angel networks work here
LitBAN pools many angels under one roof, while NGL runs a large syndicate of its own. Together they share deal flow and split the diligence work.
One round can draw dozens of small cheques from a single network. To reach them, join a network and pitch the lead angel first.
That lead carries your story to the rest of the group. Ellty lets you share with a whole group at once, and our Hanoi angels guide covers the same playbook.
Raising an angel round in Vilnius
Line up several backers at once, because small cheques add up fast into a real round. Momentum matters, so keep the conversations running in parallel.
Protect your data as you share it, and use secure file sharing to stay in control. Lock your key files from leaks with password protection on every link.
Ellty sends updates and tracks every read along the way. That insight helps your startup time each nudge and close the round.
How to pitch an angel investor
Lead with your team and story.
