Why Georgia
The Georgian startup ecosystem is flourishing and experiencing amazing momentum. In the last few years, Georgia has seen a significant increase, both in quantity and quality of high growth potential startups. Entrepreneurs and investors in Georgia face a friendly legal system, relatively low labor and energy costs, supportive local government, and cost-effective environment. Investors in Georgian startups know that a big portion of their investment goes towards building a competitive business, and not to landlords for office rent.
Among notable advantages of Georgia is the local talent pool. Many years of defending from different invaders created generations of defiant and resolute people with the spirit of underdogs. These important entrepreneurial traits are on course for revival after 70 years of Soviet occupied Georgia. Georgians are also known for their creativeness. This, coupled with the welcoming attitude towards immigrants/visitors has the potential to create a breeding ground for extremely rare species - daring founders looking to change the world.
Why Now
Georgia’s position as a hub for technology startups recently was turbo fueled with the influx of tech talent from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia who are looking at the welcoming business environment, strategic geographical position, and strong links to European, Central and South-East Asia and Middle Eastern markets. Within 3-hour flight radius of Tbilisi there is an access to multi-billion markets
We frequently hear from our friends in Silicon Valley, London, and Tel-Aviv that Tbilisi reminds them of Lisbon 5 years ago. We believe that the timing is right and we are on a course to see global success cases coming out of Georgian startup ecosystem.
