We’ve seen their journey up close - from the Startup Lithuania Accelerator powered by Plug and Play Tech Center to winning the #StartupFair2025 Pitch Battle. Now, they’re turning night into day.

Everyone’s been sharing the news — congrats to nexos.ai! 👏 nexos.ai raised €30M Series A to tackle one of the biggest challenges in modern business: unlocking the full potential of AI in the enterprise. While many companies are eager to adopt AI, nexos.ai’s founder and CEO, Tomas Okmanas, points to four persistent barriers: ➡️ Fragmented and insecure deployments ➡️ Uncontrolled costs ➡️ Zero visibility ➡️ Failed governance nexos.ai addresses these issues head-on with a unified, web-based AI Workspace for employees and an AI Gateway for developers. The platform replaces scattered tools with a secure, centralized environment that offers built-in guardrails, full observability, and flexible access controls. With this new funding, nexos.ai will accelerate platform development, expand operations across Europe and North America, and launch educational partnerships.

Startup Supernaut AI has raised €530K in pre-seed funding from Superhero Capital to tackle one of engineering’s biggest pain points: stalled tickets and technical debt. Their AI-native assistant integrates with Jira and GitHub, proactively clearing backlogs by investigating, documenting, and even fixing issues so dev teams can focus on building, not bug-fixing. Founded by Mantas Konstantinavičius and Dr. Olga Maslova, Supernaut AI is built for team workflows, not just individual coding. Currently in closed testing, the team is gearing up for an open beta and global expansion. A big step forward for dev productivity! 👏
