Founder @ SaaStock

Alexandru Stan & Cristian Dina, both super connectors, SaaS Founders and pay it forward humans. Also now event organizers, as they did an incredible job for this first time event. Congrats for all the hard work and the biggest award should go to you guys for taking this idea through to fruition and delivering above expectation.

Alexandru Paduraru

Co-Founder @ Creative Tim

I was talking with a founder about the fact that founders are usually fully booked with many things. And if we wanted to do a video call with all these 500 people at the same time, it would probably be impossible to sync everyone. But these people took 3 days of their busy lives to come from New York, Paris, Berlin, London, and even Columbia. Make sure you can come next year for the Tekpon Awards
