@leanux_bala The Romanian Tech Startup scene is flourishing thanks to resilient, bright people and some help of the government.

RomanianStartups.com brings together, in one place, all Romanian technology and Internet related startups, founders, accelerators/incubators, events, co-working spaces, mentors, investors and makes it a one-stop-shop for all the information needed to get an overall view of what is happening in the Romanian tech field.
The location of these startups, accelerators/incubators, events, and established companies doesn’t matter as long as at least one of these entities’ co-founder is Romanian.
Looks great. Is there a similar platform and who do you serve (the startups listed or soon to become entrepreneurs)?

@raultiru I am the maker of RomanianStartups.com.
You can list a startup in the directory whether is in the project (I mean you have an MVP at least), private beta, public beta or launched. The main condition is that there has to be at least on Romanian founder of that startup no matter where it is based (in Romania or abroad). Or, if a foreign founder establish a startup in Romania legally that also can be listed in the directory.
Any other question, I am here to answer.
@mirceagoia It's still not clear for me who you serve, what your goal is. Is it for internationals to find partnerships with Romanian startups, a way for Romanian startups to get to know each other or just another startup directory but specifically in the Romanian Tech niche?
Report
@raultiru It's everything. For Romanians and international.
Popularizing the Romanian startup scene outside the country (that's why it's in English). TC is not the only foreign publication RomanianStartups.com appeared.
Rounding up all the startups and founders we can find so yes, they get to know each other and maybe cooperate among each other (there may be a startup which service can serve another startup, right?).
Founders can not only find others like them but also find co-working spaces when they are at the beginning. Also, they can see what events are there so they can attend.
Media people (Romanian or foreign) can find in one place details about our startup scene (including events they can attend). This happened.
Investors can see at a glance what's going on in the country and eventually contact interesting startups with inquiries (it happened).
Even the government can take a look at it and see what's going on in this particular sector, which they tend to forget (concentrating on big corporations). This also happened.
And general visitors, if they are interested can see what's going on.
In the future we plan to add a Jobs section (tailored spcifically for startups), a Developers section (with developers willing to work specifically for startups) and also Investors/Mentors section with people interested specifically in investing/mentoring Romanian startups.
Registration is free and anyone can add a startups. But it is moderated so only approved startups are displayed (no spam or crap allowed).
@mirceagoia Great! Looking forward to seeing how the Developers section will evolve. I know that just about all companies are in search for quality developers but are struggling to find them. Romania is already well known for our great developers. This could give it that extra boost.
Love what you're doing. Keep up the good work :)
