Startup Russia

Russians are people of peace.

Unfortunately, our nationality is treated like scum by others because of the one-person game. We, as people of tech and digital, are ashamed.

However, not everyone has a thriving seed-stage startup ready to relocate, but still. We want to move out.

So, if you’re helping with relocation, hiring, or can give a hand to settle down outside of “one man’s land,” please leave a comment below, or mention those who do.
