I'm so happy to read this (a proud Bulgarian). The founders are amazing! We need more examples like these in Eastern Europe that can promote and create an environment for entrepreneurs.

Definitely. I hope Bulgaria and Romania rise up from just being seen as cheap outsourcing hubs and tax havens.

And I hope our governments become less corrupt and incompetent so that our talent doesn't feel the need to move West, although this seems more difficult to solve than the tech hub part.

It's not just about government corruption. Time zones, labor laws, less entrepreneurial mindsets are examples of reasons why there's brain drain from Sweden, Germany, UK to US.
