Last week we’ve been in the lovely city of Iasi, meeting local tech startups and entrepreneurs, and getting to know what we’ve found out to be a vibrant, optimistic tech community.
While we have never had a startup from Iasi in the MVP Academy program, we’re pretty optimistic this year — some of the teams we’ve seen have the determination and execution capacity we’re looking for.

Big thanks to the Digital Product Meetup organizer Cristi Birladeanu, The Grape hub main man Tudor Gandu, and the Marionette Studio team, one of the startups from Iasi we’ve met, with whom we’ve filmed a short video about the local tech scene.
This week we’ll be in Timisoara, and we’ll be part of a couple of meetups while also discussing with promising tech startups and entrepreneurs in the rest of the time. Catch us at:
- Cowork Timisoara Meetup, Thursday 26th January, 6:30pm, at Cowork Timisoara;
- 1-to-1 meetings with startups, Friday 27th January, 10:00am, at Alt Club;
- Business Angels Ecosystem (private event), Friday 27th January, at Startuphub Timisoara (please contact Radu Ticiu at [email protected] if interested to attend).
See you soon Timisoara!
PS: Next next stop is Cluj, on 7th, 8th and 9th of February.
