Live Talk with Milda Mitkute, co-founder of Vinted

Ever wondered what it really takes to build a billion-dollar company? Now’s your chance to ask.

Most people know Vinted, the €3.5bn secondhand fashion unicorn. But few know it was co-founded by an amazing female founder Milda Mitkute, who built the company from an idea she had at 21.

Back in 2008, Milda was a student who simply needed to clear out her closet. Two weeks later, she had a website. Over time, that side project turned into a global marketplace with 65M+ users and landed $532M from top investors like Accel and EQT Group. In 2016, at the peak of Vinted’s growth, she stepped away to focus on family.

She calls it her “biggest life project.” But she didn’t stop there. During maternity leave, she earned three master’s degrees, became an investor, joined startup boards, and now - she’s building a new edtech startup.

🔥 This is your chance to ask Milda anything about:

✨ Turning an idea into a business - even without experience

✨ Managing fast growth

✨ Raising funding without chasing investors

✨ Taking a step back - and what comes after a unicorn

✨ Balancing ambition, motherhood, and personal reinvention
