With no further ado, here ⬇ is an overview of what #TechAngels are and do and a captivating dialogue about the tech ecosystem and its developments. It is about all of us, learning how to support the talent and the creativity of the tech people of Romania (5% of the local work force is working in tech, which is a quite big pool compared with a usual average of 2-3%). Well, one has to be Mirel Bran to get those questions out and Marius Istrate to set the data in an interesting way. Grab a coffee, take a seat. It is an insightful talk. #FridayReco #noivenimdinviitor #angelinvestors #startups #growingtogether

We stripped down our offer, just for #startups! #PR is the most cost-effective way to get the ball rolling on building awareness and connecting with customers/investors/partners. I launched Influence Matters 8 years ago to support #innovators in telling their stories while they innovate technologies that will make the world a better place. We worked with a number of startups and gained valuable insights on what early stage companies should focus on, how we, the agency, can be nimble about needs and shifts in needs, and how we can be creative with budgets. As we grow, it becomes difficult to serve our startup clients the same way we serve more established companies, so we launch Influence Matters Startups as a dedicated offer for startups based in Asia, targeting Asian markets, that meet our conditions. Ping me to learn about how we can support you with telling your story.
