Bulgaria is far away from any traditions in the venture capitalism and entrepreneuralship. But - the traditions aren't what they were :) We started one year ago, with our own innovative idea and funded entirely from local investment fund. We use Rackspace cloud, we interact with important communities via the web and rarely travel abroad, mostly for events like Innovate100. Currently we are selected as one of the TOP 100 most innovative startups and we are thankful to all the technologies, letting us walk your way and feel part of the big world tech family.

Despite Bulgaria is only 8 millions, we have always had good IT's and mathematicians(always among the top in the world competitions), but - ZERO entrepreneurial culture. How quick the changes started and gave results here? The startup/networking/seeding activities started actively maybe before 3 years. Now we have few startups, which are seriously accredited from the world community for their innovative ideas.<br><br>One of them is the startup I'm working for - <a href="http://Favit.com" rel="nofollow">Favit.com</a>, which was recently listed as one of the TOP 100 most innovative startups in the world you could meet us on the Innovate 100 event in Tel Aviv, 12.
