We wrapped up Progress Days in Druskininkai
A few days in Druskininkai and a fresh perspective on the business. Startups from ROCKIT Pre-Accelerator Batch #5 came together at Tech Spa for Progress Days, a signature event in ROCKIT’s programmes.
Worked through fundraising, pricing, and sales with experts, received individual feedback from mentors, and put their pitches to the test.
Founders shared the stories that don’t make it into pitch decks and asked each other for advice. A few “we should do something together” conversations sparked plans for a collab, and one startup even had a pivot to bring home.
Could your startup use a few days like these?Leave your details here, and we’ll let you know when applications open for the next ROCKIT Pre-Accelerator batch.
Partnerships matter
We’ve partnered with Vilnius University Tech Hub to strengthen the connection between university entrepreneurship and the wider startup ecosystem. Together, we’ll support promising teams as they move beyond university, helping them access the expertise, connections, and opportunities needed to turn their ideas into growing businesses.

UPCOMING EVENTS @ ROCKIT
Autumn at ROCKIT brings more than cosy catch-ups
We’re mixing things up with activities and useful sessions for our community.
That means, we care about making ROCKIT a place where everyone feels welcome and safe. This time, we’re teaming up with the Lithuanian Fintech Association and the Lithuanian Red Cross for a practical civil protection session, covering everything from finding shelter to packing an emergency bag.
A little preparation can go a long way – and looking out for each other is part of community life.
And one more very important thing: you’re always welcome to join our community. 💛
