Honouring Vilnius’ Unicorns

Wolficorn is a special award the City of Vilnius gives to unicorns (companies with a $1B market cap) operating within the capital’s ecosystem. Created by Eglė Žvirblytė, the statue depicts a half-wolf/half-unicorn creature – the symbols of Vilnius and successful startups - and is the trophy given to new companies joining the exclusive unicorn club. Three unicorns – Vinted, Nord Security, and Baltic Classifieds Group – were born in Vilnius.
