Last chance to join The Recursive Founder Files 🌍
Some of the most successful startups are not defined by product alone, but by how quickly they build the right relationships, visibility, and credibility when entering new markets.
This is exactly what we’ll explore in an insightful virtual conversation hosted by The Recursive and Rubik Hub, designed for CEE founders thinking about international expansion.

Our speakers are at the center of this conversation, bringing firsthand experience from building, scaling, and supporting startups across international ecosystems:
Robert Cotuna – Investment Manager, Rubik Hub
Eoin McGuinness – Head of GTM, Instantly.ai; mentor
Diana Andritchi – CBO, Synaptiq.io; alumnus
Kristiana Kuneva – CBDO, The Recursive (moderator)
Together, we’ll explore what actually drives traction beyond borders:
👉 Why network density often matters more than product strength in new markets
👉 How trust and visibility accelerate fundraising, partnerships, hiring, and growth
👉 The role of strategic positioning and PR in building credibility across ecosystems
👉 Common mistakes founders make when expanding into CEE, DACH, and the US
If you’re thinking about international expansion, fundraising, or building cross-border visibility, this is a conversation about how growth actually happens once you step outside your home market.
