Audra Pakalnyte: Lithuania To Malaysia, Adapt & Localize (Groupon Malaysia, KFit & Fave) & First Move VC Partner - E478
Audra Pakalnyte, Partner at First Move, and Jeremy Au discussed:
1. Lithuania To Malaysia: Growing up as the youngest of three daughters, Audra's childhood was shaped by Lithuania's national post-Soviet transformation. Her parents' dinner table conversations about multiple entrepreneurial ventures taught her first lessons in business dynamics and the necessity for adaptability. These early experiences instilled a deep understanding of market dynamics and the entrepreneurial resilience required to navigate them. With serendipity and seeing the right opportunity, she moved to Malaysia and begun her startup journey with Khailee Ng and Joel Neoh at the first generation of local startups.
