Giving Back
I've judged, mentored, and taught across accelerators, universities, and innovation programs — because the mistakes I've made are more useful shared than buried. As a startup mentor, expert evaluator, and business trainer, Aivars M. Lipenitis works with acceleration programs on both sides of the Atlantic.
