ABOUT STARTUP HUNGARY
ABOUT US
Founder Board
Since Startup Hungary’s inception in 2020 with the 12 original founders, the Hungarian startup ecosystem has developed significantly. With the invaluable assistance of our founders, we feel that we have also contributed somewhat to this growth, by inspiring and supporting the next generation of founders. It’s a great testament to the growth of the community that at our 3rd birthday, as the startup scene flourishes with numerous post-exit founders, we proudly extend our founder board to encompass a remarkable 40 founders.
