Here are some stand-out quotes that should give you an idea of what to expect. Make sure to come back and check who said what!
Startup Talk:
“We didn’t have a long-term strategy when we started. Instead, we decided to react very quickly to whatever market opportunity we saw out there. We did a lot of things.”
“We come from different backgrounds, from IT to psychology, but we aregoing back to agriculture to put into practice our common values and principles regarding the food we eat.”
“If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.”
Insider Talk:
“Coupled with the engineering tradition in the country and with more openness of the tech sector, Romania has seen an increase in the number of tech startups.”
“Back in 2010, on a misty Sunday morning in mid-November, I was having coffee and a cigar with Anca Albu, the chief organiser of the first Startup Weekend Romania, at the entrance of the newly opened Bucharest Hub.”
