Like other eastern european countries, Romanians suffer greatly with poor branding and "western-centrism".
While in Germany, I watched clear demonstrations of discrimination towards Romanians in a tech startup. They really had to prove themselves. Although extremelly talented, "jokes" would always fly around the "gypsy stereotype".
That being said, as a startup founder, I'd assume it'd be much harder to raise money from an UK VC firm.
Yup. One person's stupidity is another wise, entrepreneur's money-making opportunity... hire LGBTQ, disabled, ex-cons, neurodiversity, anyone whom typical businesses "reject," not just for PR reasons but to win bigger
with untapped capabilities others cannot see or manage.
