"I wish we had something like Bucharest Hubb 2-3 years ago. A place where one can go and speak about the Internet and making money online without getting crazy looks. The new wave of online entrepreneurs now has access to a place like that. It's only up to them to make the best out of their ideas."
"Bucharest Hub could be considered "The News for the online business in Romania". I believe in good timing and I think the moment is perfect for this kind of initiative. The Hub will be the place for meeting, creating, networking, interacting, brainstorming, partnerships, pitching investors, celebrating small or big victories and… partying ;) The Hub should encourage all young online entrepreneurs not to give up and to pursue their dream. Can't wait for the opening party ;)"
"It's an excellent place to nest an online startup and a cool location for experienced entrepreneurs to socialize, learn and exchange ideas."
"The Hubb is a perfect place if you're an entrepreneur trying to build a business from scratch. When you start a business, even in the online industry, it is very useful to have a place you can call "office". And what's really great about this place is the networking. Think about it: you wake up every morning, you go to YOUR office, and there there are other 20-30 entrepreneurs just like you, brainstorming and trying to find the most efficient way to change the world."
