Personal funds. Up until now we have been self-sufficient.
The real pain about starting a business in Bulgaria is…
The political instability. The lack of law execution and economical support that would stimulate startups and small businesses to create a competitive environment and inspire new product and service break-throughs.
The person that inspires us is…
It’s not just one person that inspires us. It’s all the young entrepreneurs who proactively look for ways to satisfy the needs of the people and create the added value that becomes their competitive advantage. Their consistency and perseverance is a motivational driving force.
The one app/service that we couldn’t live without is…
Basic online and mobile communication. We have to stay on top of our goals and ideas at all times and pay attention to details.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
Ourselves. At the end of the day, the most important things are in our heads.
The worst piece of advice we ever got was…
“Wait and see.” Yes, being patient is important but we have to work hard to improve our chances even while we’re waiting.
The one thing that will make us quit is…
What does quitting mean?
Our inside joke is…
Who ate the cookie? 🙂
You might not believe it, but we…
Both wanted to become racecar drivers.
We’ll call ourselves successful when…
When we endlessly create opportunities for our society and enjoy the journey of reaching our goal. Technically, we consider ourselves successful already and will continue to be successful.
The startup we really want to see on inventures’ Startup Pick is…
Makerbot.
