Liviu Cadariu

Program Director

Liviu has co-founded We For Real, the simple no-bullshit approach to helping companies kick-start their communities. In the past, he has been the Event Manager of TechHub Bucharest, the co-working space and meeting place for the Bucharest tech community.

Liviu has been part of the early teams of 3 startup projects, which, although unsuccessful, proved to be the fastest learning curve in his career. There are 3 things that any founder should look at from day 1: choose your co-founders wisely, know who will be paying for your product, and focus on the customer, not the idea!
