Why Should Women Choose a Career in Private Capital?
Women-only event
Level 20 | Livonia Partners | LT VCA
Private equity and venture capital are among the most competitive areas of finance — yet women remain underrepresented.
Instead of repeating that statistic, this event asks a more relevant question:
why should women choose a career in private capital in the first place?
Join us high above Vilnius at the TV Tower for a conversation with leading women in private equity and venture capital, representing both local and international investment platforms:
Audinga Besusparė, President at Key Carbon, former PSP Investments — bringing global institutional investor perspective
Andra Bagdonaitė, General Partner at Firstpick — early-stage VC and founder-focused investing
Maarja Pärs, Investment Director at Livonia Partners — mid-market private equity and value creation
Daiva Rakauskaitė, Managing Partner at Aneli Capital — venture capital and ecosystem building
They will share how they entered the industry, what the work actually looks like day to day, and what it takes to build a career in investing.
You’ll hear about:
• how they broke into private equity and venture capital
• what the job really involves (beyond mysterious Excel models)
• what skills help students stand out
• what makes the industry challenging, exciting, and impactful
After the discussion, stay for informal networking with women working in the industry — a chance to ask questions, hear real career stories, and make connections.
And yes, there will be food — which, according to decades of student research, dramatically improves networking.
Come for the career insights, stay for the conversations, and enjoy the view from one of the highest spots in Vilnius.
