Of course, the significantly lower cost-structure in Romania helps a lot. However, it is wonderful to see steadfast execution from a software startup, and the evolution of a sustainable business in Romania. At today's roundtable, we had a 30-minute segment on Web 3.0

We called it the Super Awesome Micro Project. I met our CTO for the first time a few weeks ago at the WPP Stream Conference. Which is a little bit strange seeing we have been working on projects together for the best part of 18 months. Well, we are mere weeks away from completion.

We often hear of the successful entrepreneurs and start-ups, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Instagram, the lucky (and deserving) 1%.
