What was it like to study AI back in 2003, and how does it pay off today? In this episode of The Recursive Podcast, Bogdan Iordache shares his journey from becoming a CTO at just 21 years old to his evolution as a successful investor. Bogdan is a prominent person not only in Romania’s startup ecosystem, but in CEE.
Over the years, he has worn many hats—founder, advisor, event organizer—and today, he plays a leading role as an investor. Just a year ago, he announced the first close of Underline Ventures with $20M in funding.
Bogdan is also the founder of How to Web, one of the region’s most prominent tech conferences.
In his conversation with Irina Obushtarova, he discusses:
– Why he didn’t enjoy being a founder, but loves being an investor
– Passing the reins of How to Web to Alex Agatinei and Monica Zara
– Underline VC’s approach to identifying excellent founders
