As promised, I'm back with my second project of this year, which brought me the diversity that I constantly need (as opposed to purely legal projects). So, it doesn't need many introductions in the startup investment world, being already at its 4th edition: it's Startup Reaktor startupreaktor.com - a validation platform (a mix between the acceleration, incubation and investment processes), created as a launchpad for early-stage tech startups in SEE. Being one of the mentors of this program is a real privilege for me. I've already had working sessions with AIVision (bogdan grumezescu, I've rarely met people more passionate than you about their product) and Remote Butler (Horatiu Negrea and Alexandra Apostol, it was a real pleasure to talk about your disruptive platform, and I hope it will help you later down the road). I can't wait for the other meetings scheduled this week, because I'm sure I'll meet founders just as passionate about what they do, and with startups just as interesting. Thanks again for the granted trust (special thanks to Cristian Dascalu) and congratulations to the whole team (Ioana Ienaga cheers to you) that is full heartedly involved in this project run by the ROTSA (Romanian Tech Startups Association) team, with strategic collaborations from Techcelerator.Co, @Romanian Internationalization and Commercialization Assistance Program - RICAP and EIT Digital
