sTARTUp Day Classics: Milda Mitkutė keynote in 2020 on Building Vinted and Herself

In this episode of the sTARTUp Day Podcast, we travel back to one of the most memorable keynotes from sTARTUp Day 2020. Milda Mitkutė, the co-founder of Vinted, shares her deeply personal journey that began with an addiction to clothes and unexpectedly led to creating Lithuania’s first unicorn.

Milda talks about how moving to Vilnius and realizing the scale of her shopping obsession sparked the idea of building a platform for selling and swapping clothes – which later grew into a global community with millions of users. In her talk, she reflects not only on Vinted’s growth story but also on the life lessons she learned as a founder: dreaming big, overcoming fear of failure, learning to let go of ego, and choosing between being an expert or a leader.

This keynote is part of our sTARTUp Day 10 celebration series, where we revisit some of the most inspiring talks from past festivals. Tune in for an honest, insightful, and motivating story about how even unexpected beginnings can lead to world-changing ventures.
