Plain | Techstars '24

🔥 It's incredible to see the #CEE region continuing to thrive! Thanks The Recursive for mentioning the Techstars Transformative World Torino alumni Voovo and Plain | Techstars '24! 🔥 We invested in many more amazing founders from the region (e.g. INPUT SOFT, Volteum, GO TO-U, Lawyerd, VisionAnchor, eTEU, Kedeon, NRGI.ai, Sheeva.AI, Sirius, WeGlad, G2Q Computing) and I'd like to double or triple it this year! I remain super bullish on CEE&South-Europe! 🚀 🙏 So, to all my CEE friends, please share with your early-stage/idea-stage companies that applications for our next program are open and please help me to back as many founders from the region as possible: https://lnkd.in/ePNrZNp9 🚀 Founders, join us in Italy🇮🇹 for 3 months, a market with almost 60m inhabitants and 6m companies! Test and refine your idea to find product-market fit faster, learn how to fundraise, take advantage of the global Techstars network and get unfair access to the Italian ecosystem via our corporate partners Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, Fondazione CRT, Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center to boost your startup to the next level! 💰 VCs, we're not in touch yet? Let's change that and talk about co-investing and backing founders together! I'll be visiting several cities in CEE and Italy between Sept-Nov, reach out if you want to meet in person and chat about your company! First stop in CEE: Bogdan's How To Web in Bukarest, October 2-3. 🤩 Here is the link to The Recursive's CEE overview in H1/2024: https://lnkd.in/eFfd_H2z #VentureCapital #Startups #CEE #Investment #Earlystage #Funding #CentralEasternEurope #EmergingEurope

Nothing has inspired me more recently than fellow female professionals. Last week, I graduated from the incredible #SheInnovates Academy for #female entrepreneurs, and these two months were filled with motivation and support. Huge thanks to everyone involved, with a special shoutout to the women who made it all happen: Nadia Damkouskaya, founder of Hopeflow, for being an outstanding example of strength and compassion; Natallia Miranchuk, founder of Soula for her motivation and exceptional experience-sharing; and Katerina Bril for showcasing management skills like none I've seen before. A big thank you to the mentors — Natalia Ananchik 白莺, Tatiana Shestakova, and Валентина Чекан — who generously shared their knowledge and left a touch on Plain | Techstars '24 development. Wish every woman I met there success and fulfillment, and I look forward to staying in touch. For every woman out there, may you find a supportive community—I'm always eager to connect and exchange ideas! 💙

Production of cheaper and lower quality furniture is not a solution as well as continuously dropping retail prices! “We want every furniture item to be sold with design in mind!” And we believe it will benefit both companies and their customers. Plain's Co-founder and CEO Taisa Mukha recently made a guest appearance on The Tech Business Connected Podcast hosted by Paul Essery, where they discussed Plain plans and challenges. Reach out if you want to know more!

What a journey! Thank you Techstars and Techstars Transformative World Torino !
