In 2010, Cristian and Mircea arrived in Vancouver from Romania to start a new company.

His father, my grandfather, ended up in South America after fleeing Jewish oppression in Romania. They called the partner in America responsible for the project, Grieg Coppe, put him on the phone and he said, “what the hell are you doing there?” I left Accenture a year before making Partner. My grandfather. Ok, maybe I was.

My dad’s father was from Romania. He thought about the plight of his long-time partner and her desire to spend time with her family. He left in his early twenties to come to America for his med-school residency. He started out in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, where I was born. He escaped Jewish oppression in the pogroms.

In our weekly partner’s meeting yesterday, we ended up in a discussion about the progression of offshore development in a variety of portfolio companies.

Selling antivirus technology (via their acquisition of Romania’s GeCAD Software) will not make their OS less vulnerable. My recommendation is that MSFT should look at partnering with security management software companies so its customers can take control of their security.

Then in 2016 I found a dressmaker in Romania who created fashion-forward designs that were made to measure, and the light bulb went off! I traveled around recruiting a fantastic starting lineup of designer partners to build their stores on the Balodana marketplace, and I left my CMO job in March 2018 to build the prototype and the business.

When my business partner Gideon Shalwick recently hired a full time Filipino at around $400 US a month, I had a long discussion with him about why it is okay to do this and why it is not exploitation. He had the same argument as Adam, which as you will hear in the recording with Jonas, I agreed with and supported.
