First time in Kaunas, The Founder’s Day invited TutoTOONS co-founder Mantas Radvila to join and share the ups and downs of the startup business. It was a great evening, don’t be afraid to shape your ideas and always test things! View more photos by BZN start and download TutoTOONS deck (in Lithuanian).

Born in a hackathon, TutoTOONS now helps others execute their ideas or encourage to start your own business. Our Creative Director Modestas Povilaitis and CTO Arvydas Burdulis (working together since 2008!) joined Hacker Games in Kaunas as mentors and shared their knowledge with young talents, all ready to build killer products from scratch over the weekend. TutoTOONS also set up a prize for the best kids game that went to team Focus with a 2D game for autistic children. Read about the event in Startup Lithuania’s article and view more photos here. Congratulations to all winners and many thanks to the hosts!

On September 8th, TutoTOONS Lead Artist Modestas Povilaitis shared his insights on why kids like very sparkly and colorful images at #SWITCH!, the biggest ICT and entrepreneurship event in the Baltics. Why do we have different tastes in art? Why little girls like pink color and sparkles? And what does it have to do with our brain? These are just a few of the questions that Modestas attempted to answer in his presentation The Power of Pink, explaining the processes of early learning and helping to understand how a creator should relate to the target audience. Stay tuned for more - we plan to share the speech on our blog together with some artistic insights for game creators. We’d like to give a big shout-out to #SWITCH! team - thank you for this exciting opportunity to contribute to the event and share our knowledge! Another thanks goes to Copictures for the nice photos! :)
