The ClujStartups
Story
Our Vision
We envision ClujStartups as a leading global HUB for innovation and entrepreneurship, where an energetic community of risk-takers leads continuous evolution in the startup world.
Founded in 2012 with a clear mission to connect startup founders and support their growth—you get full access to a powerful network of investors, mentors, startup founders, and more. We offer business know-how, strategic visibility, and the resources you need to thrive in our community.
What began as a small group has grown into a 7,000-strong network, backed by hundreds of events, experts and partners. Cluj Startups provides the framework to accelerate your growth and help you transform bold ideas into successful businesses.
