BESCO – The Bulgarian Startup Association
For Entrepreneurs By Entrepreneurs.Why?
Bulgaria is the best place in the Europe to create and grow a startup.
Here is why:
- The people – a very strong startup community
- The best coworking spaces in CEE
- So many VC funds that there will be money even for you.
- We have a pool of great IT talent (Yep, Bay Tosho did at least one thing right…)
- Creating a company is fast and easy… and guess what – BESCO is working on making it even easier – 1 euro/3 days
- Oh, and one more thing – 10% Corporate tax and great (we mean low) costs for business

What we do
Our role is to unite you all: the community, the people who matter, the movers of the ecosystem – whether you are startups, incubators, funds, co-working spaces, or even newbies, wanting to build a business.
Coming from abroad? We’ll help you meet everyone so you quickly feel at home in Bulgaria.
We are not the typical industrial association. We run and work in startups so we know what you need and we speak the same language.
