Recently, we have noticed a growing number of new investors. As they join our community, we want to tell you again who are the key forces driving our platform's success: the co-founders of hive5, Ričardas Vandzinskas and Andrius Rupšys. After more than two years since the platform's launch, we can be sure that their extensive experience in finance and technology, combined with their shared vision, have ensured that hive5 remains a reliable and popular platform for investors.
Ričardas Vandzinskas: The Financial Strategist
Ričardas Vandzinskas, co-founder and CEO of hive5, brings over 17 years of expertise in multinational finance, investment management, and corporate governance. His extensive public accounting and finance background and strategic insight have significantly shaped hive5's financial stability and long-term growth.
Throughout his career, Ričardas has held significant roles, such as Supervisory Board Member and Independent Audit Committee Member, giving him a deep understanding of corporate governance and financial risk management. His ability to translate business strategy into actionable financial plans undoubtedly ensures hive5's success. Beyond the numbers, Ričardas is known for his forward-thinking approach to finance, always looking for ways to align risk management with investor needs.
Moreover, Ričardas's commitment to encouraging the next generation of leaders is reflected in his role as a mentor at the Kaunas University of Technology. Since 2017, he has guided students in leadership development and personal growth, instilling self-motivation and strategic thinking values. This passion for mentoring shows that Ričardas believes in enabling talent within hive5 team members and the broader community.
Andrius Rupšys: The Technology Visionary
On the other side of the co-founding duo is Andrius Rupšys, an entrepreneur with a deep-rooted passion for technology and innovation. From an early age, Andrius was fascinated by computers, and his entrepreneurial journey began when he started his first business as a teenager, assembling and selling personal computers.
Before developing hive5, Andrius's most outstanding achievement was founding Ruptela, one of Lithuania's most well-known IT companies. Under his leadership, Ruptela grew from one idea into a profitable company, providing cutting-edge fleet management and GPS tracking solutions. His ability to turn a concept into a scalable business has been a cornerstone of his success, and this same entrepreneurial spirit drives his role at hive5.
During his nearly 15 years at the helm of Ruptela, Andrius earned multiple awards, including being named "CEO of the Year" in Lithuania, "The Most Attractive Employer in Lithuania" and the "I Love My Company" award. Andrius's approach to building businesses goes beyond technical expertise.
The Great Partnership
Ričardas Vandzinskas and Andrius Rupšys form a dynamic partnership combining the best professional fields: financial insight and technological innovation. Their combined experience has eventually allowed hive5 to grow while maintaining the core values of transparency, reliability, and professionalism. Their professional backgrounds and personal values make hive5 a platform investors can count on for short-term gains and long-term success.
Both co-founders believe in clear communication with investors and ensuring that risks are properly managed and understood. This approach has set hive5 apart from many other platforms in the market. As new markets are developed and more opportunities are created, Andrius and Ričardas's leadership continues to guide the business toward greater success.
