🌆 During the opening of #InvestinMoonicorns2024, Adrian Erimescu, Co-Founder and co-CEO of #Growceanu, delivered a powerful call to action for the audience, inviting them to take an active role as angel investors in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. He highlighted Romania’s position as a leader in the tech sector, with the highest number of certified IT specialists per 1,000 inhabitants in Europe, contributing to 6.2% of the country’s GDP. This has made Romania an attractive destination for global corporations, driving economic growth and prosperity. But, as Adrian pointed out, “What’s next?” 🚀 The next chapter for #Romania and the entire #CEE region is about moving beyond outsourcing and toward building products and intellectual property. It’s about nurturing a culture of entrepreneurship, where founders are encouraged to dream big and solve large-scale challenges. We call these ambitious ventures #Moonicorns 🦄. Adrian emphasized the crucial role of angel investors and HNWIs in making this transition possible. Startups need three key resources in their early days: #expertise, #connections, and #capital. And these are precisely what angel investors bring to the table. Investing in startups is a path to creating new opportunities and a way to build a future we want to live in. As Alex Felman, one of our speakers from last year, put it: “When you invest in startups, you invest in a future that you’d like to live in.” Together, let’s build a better tomorrow. Be an angel! 🌍

🌐 Reflections on the ‘Principles of Investing in Disruptive Technologies’ Panel at #InvestinMoonicorns2024 🌐 At the second edition of Invest in Moonicorns, we held an insightful panel exploring investing principles in #AI, #Quantum, and #Web3technologies. Moderated by Mihai Suta, MBA, the panel brought together leading experts Eva Arh, Valentin Muresan, Andrew Forson, TEP, Laurentiu Nita, and Tudor Holotescu, who shared valuable perspectives on the emerging synergies and challenges in these transformative fields. Key questions explored included: 💡 How can investors identify and capitalize on potential synergies between AI, Web3, and quantum technologies? 🎯 What are the top criteria for evaluating investment opportunities in educational technologies utilizing blockchain, AI, and quantum computing? 🌍 How will quantum technology reshape the future as it intersects with other disruptive innovations? Mihai Suta’s closing insights captured the current landscape: 🔹 These three powerful technologies still find ways to interact meaningfully in real-world applications. 🔹 Experts within each field often lack knowledge of the others, with limited research bridging these frontiers. 🔹 Despite their differences, each technology has the potential to transform our world fundamentally, setting the stage for impactful innovation and investment. Thank you to our panelists and all attendees for contributing to a memorable session! 💜 #InvestInMoonicorns #AI #QuantumComputing #Web3 #DisruptiveTechnologies #Innovation #AngelInvesting #Growceanu

Last week was Innoweek in Timișoara 🦄 a week dedicated to innovation and entrepreneurs developing products that solve real-world problems. Several events were organized as part of Innoweek by key players in the venture ecosystem from Timișoara and Romania. We're thrilled to have been part of this experience, with Growceanu as both a supporter and co-organizer of the Launch Community Evening Timișoara. At some events, we took the stage as speakers; at others, we joined as participants. But at every moment, we enjoyed meeting great people, sharing perspectives, and expressing our vision for how things should evolve in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. A big congratulations to the Prow Conference team 🦄 for organizing yet another fantastic event, with a well-curated agenda and valuable speakers that left us with plenty of takeaways. We reconnected with old friends, exchanged insights with many founders, and even added a trip to space to our wishlist! We’re already looking forward to Innoweek 2025, and we want to extend our thanks and appreciation to everyone 🦄 involved in making this year's edition a success: Daiana Marculescu & Comets of Web3, Vlad Gliga & ROStartup, Andrei-Cătălin Cojan, Ştefania Kiss, and Roxana-Lavinia Pădurean from Launch Romania.
