Rytis Vitkauskas

Rytis is co-founder and CEO of YPlan, the world's first mobile-only event booking app. Identifying the seismic consumer shift to mobile commerce, Rytis and YPlan's co-founder, Viktoras Jucikas, spotted a gap in the entertainment market. No single app or website provided an efficient way to discover and purchase last minute nights out. Prior to YPlan, Rytis was Vice President at Summit Partners responsible for software and technology investments from 2008-2011. Rytis started his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 14, founding a business in computer assembly and network maintenance in Lithuania. Rytis holds a BA with distinction (top 5%) in Integrated Social Sciences from Jacobs University Bremen, Germany and completed a MBA with distinction (top 7%) from Harvard Business School in 2008. Rytis is also a published author of two books, organiser/mentor of several youth mentoring programmes, and a semi-decent DJ.
