2014-05-141h 59Стартъп РазговорДигитална кифла„Стартъп Разговор“, Е28 (записан live на 5 май) с гост Любо Янчев, който ни разказва какво става с Melissa, Baggii и други подобни начинания. Знаем, че сме говорили и за двете преди, но никога в толкова детайли, бизнес и технически. Да не говорим, че Ники беше в „uber-контрариан“ modе, което доведе до uber-нагорещени спорове.
Освен това говорим и за КОЛОС, Stepsss, StartupWeekend, препоръки и традиционните тъпи вицове за финал.
Благодарим на тези от вас, които ни слушаха на живо!
