Tesonet

Build the future. Honor the past. From cool prints to tech products, Naujamiestis has seen it all. It’s time we let you in on our plans behind CYBER CITY, our HQ, and dive into how it became what it is today. Once a beloved textile factory – now a booming space named Lithuanian Silicon Valley – Cyber City hosts more than 15 products, 190+ works of art, and 3000+ tech talents working on accelerating our tech scene and startup community.

First time? Yes, nexos.ai is the first product we’re building with external funding from the start. We moved, we asked for feedback, braced for pushback, and got validation instead. The result? An €8 million investment in 6 weeks and a product, built on speed, strategy, and the want to lead. When the vision is clear, six weeks is all it takes. During the latest Off-the-record Unicorns Lithuania event, Tomas Okmanas, our co-founder, broke down the path — where we started and where we are going. 🔽

Thanks to Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and his team for their support! Game on.

Founders to Founders. Ideas don’t grow in isolation—they need feedback, pressure testing, and insights that drive them forward. That’s why Tomas Okmanas sparked the idea and became the lead of the Founders to Founders initiative for Unicorns Lithuania members. It’s a series of roundtable meetups with a simple goal—foster direct, actionable conversations among founders who present their toughest challenges, and those who’ve scaled industry-leading ventures help refine, pivot, or even discard ideas before they go off track. Meet the line-up: Mantas Mikuckas, Tadas Burgaila, Arnas Stuopelis, Julius Černiauskas, Justinas Simkus, Einaras von Gravrock, Justinas Lasevicius. More to it 👉 https://lnkd.in/dJXB5ECM

Proud to back the companies in our portfolio that set the pace and empower creators worldwide 🚀

Learning is anything but one-size-fits-all. Some thrive with structure, others in exploration — yes, resilience hikes included — but the internal TesoXchange mentorship program is where we make growth personal for 1437 pairs from 7 products and counting. “It’s hands down the quickest way to learn  — real advice, practical guidance, and experience you won’t find in books. So, we’re here to ensure mentorship taps you on the shoulder when you least expect it — wherever you are, we’re there, ready to spark something big.” — shares Inga Balžekaitė-Šaulienė, our Head of L&D.

Once Tesonet, always part of the crew. Last night, our product & engineering alumni were back at HQ, showing that moving on doesn’t mean losing touch. New roles, new stories, the same drive. Let’s not wait for another invite to catch up.

Abroad, we’re the buzz. At home, we’re the proof. Recently, we got the Saint Kristoforas statue for the waves we create in the tech and business world. Fast, fearless, and future-focused—that’s Vilnius as we see it. As Eimantas S. puts it: “When we’re abroad, we proudly share stories of Lithuania’s tech scene, our ambitious startups, and their visionary creators. And when we bring those international players to Vilnius, they’re blown away by our motivation to drive change and innovate. Happy and proud to contribute to the growth of the Vilnius fan club abroad.”

You know what is a good sign for a tech accelerator? If even after 16 years of constantly building innovations you can still ship new things and experience first times.
