Interlecta News and Product Blog

If you need funding for your project or start-up, you’d better ask for more than a million, because no one would want to give you less. However, if you have several millions and you have no idea what to do with them, find a country with one or two amateur wireless carriers and establish a third one that will win recognition and popularity in less than an year. To do this is not easy. You would need a team of the right people, in the right place and on the right time. If, for some reason, you can’t rely on these people, either kick them out or just don’t count on them…

This is a summary of the three lectures this Mobile Monday, Sofia. Three managers of leading companies spoke about how to start or develop a successful business and what are the conditions to find funding for an idea or project.

Neven Boyanov, our managing director - product development, told everybody how to start a company in case you do not have millions… Neven told how Interlecta was started, what difficulties we have been through, how we achieved our goals and what are Interlecta’s future plans.

The event took place in “Matti” Hall, NDK Sofia and was attended by representatives of online media, wireless carriers, developers, IT specialists, investors, with whom we exchanged ideas and made arrangements to talk business in the near future.

This Mobile Monday we are telling our success story, i.e. how Interlecta was started, who was struck by the idea of a Interlecta mobile translator, who we are and what we have achieved through the years. Speaker of the company will be our head of software and product development Neven Boyanov who will make clear what it takes to become and stay one of our team.

Speakers have approximately 20 minutes to present their story and our twenty minutes will tell what we have learned throughout the years, what our key success strategies have been and, of course, what are our goals for the future.

Mobile Monday Sofia starts on 22nd February 2010 at “Matti” Hall in NDK, Sofia @ 18:30. Everyone is invited to the event to meet representatives of wireless carriers, mobile applications developers, entrepreneurs and investors. Attendance is free!
