Investments in Romania from Another Perspective
summary
Investors describe concrete wins and gaps: a Prague VC lists three Romanian bets including Brainy (acquired by Teads in 2016) and an early seed in UiPath; a company says it built AML/CTF products and moved development to Cluj two years ago; another claims a publisher algorithm delivers 30% revenue uplift versus rivals. Funds prefer incorporation in the US/UK/Netherlands, one manager is raising $50M for Baltics/Eastern Europe, and policy levers cited are R&D tax breaks, startup visas and university–industry tech transfer.
