In this episode of The Startup Vagabond, I sit down with Emmett King — an American entrepreneur who left Wall Street behind to build startups in the heart of Romania. We dive into the early days of Romania’s tech ecosystem, the rise of UiPath and Telios Care, and how the Transylvania Angels Network is helping fund the next generation of founders in Eastern Europe.
Emmett shares his journey from accounting to angel investing, the lessons learned from failure, and the hard truths of being an early-stage founder in a frontier market. Whether you’re curious about venture capital in the Balkans, expanding into Europe, or just love a good founder story — this episode is for you.
