Startlabs is the first seed fund and accelerator in Serbia and their goal is to invest in Serbian and Western Balkan’s tech startups.

They have a standard terms and conditions — 50.000$ investment for 10-15% share, with 3-month-program in Belgrade and San Francisco.

The founders of this accelerator are Voja Lalic and Nebojsa  Lazic, who both have long entrepreneurial experience, having a few startups in Belgrade and San Francisco like Pamet, Vision Inc, MotionApps i Vicert.

Eleven, the €12M accelerator venture fund from Bulgaria, has confirmed that it will be upgrading its third batch of startups this spring by bringing in an additional cohort made up entirely of — gaming startups.

The young accelerator which started up last year with the help of EU funds currently houses its second batch of startups in their coworking space in Sofia.

At “The Roof” they provide them with mentorship and the sort of support customary to startup accelerators in the EU and the US, yet quite unique to the region of South-East Europe.

Serbian startup VetCloud, which is building “the first modern software solution for the veterinary industry” has just recieved its first seed round, the investment totaling north of 25.000€.

Bulgarian seed fund and accelerator Eleven took VetCloud in their latest startups batch with a 25.000€ for 8% of the company. The other investor has not been named, the details of that deal are not public either, while emphasis has been given to the fact that the CA-based angel has a strong background in the US veterinary industry which the startup is ultimately targeting.

It’s been more than two months since Seedcamp in Zagreb and yesterday we found out which of the 20 companies got the investment. It is the London-based Poq Studio, a mobile ecommerce platform for fashion products.

Poq Studio makes it possible for small and medium fashion retailers to sell their products and reach their customers on smartphone platforms in an easy and engaging manner.

Today we’re launching EuroStartupBlogs, a small weekend project that collects all English blogs covering startups and technology on a European level, wether the whole continent or just a part, like ourselves do with South-East Europe.

I was looking for a similar list some time ago and couldn’t find one, so it occurred that it might be nice to have such a list and also an overview of what is being published on these blogs.

We have started the Startit project a few months back, with the goal of helping to kickstart the local startup ecosystem by publishing relevant news, educational and other content. We are trying to help small schools to get students and to grow with own specific careers.  So , let’s say you want to become a morgue assistant and have no clue on which school attend to, all you have to do is go with one of our sponsors to help you. They say, check my blog and you’ll find the answers. Everything is as simple as clicking at that link.

So far the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and we couldn’t be happier for it, although we still do have a lot of work to do and a number of plans and ideas for the future. One of those will be starting later this week in Belgrade, providing the local startup community with a regular opportunity to network and learn cool new stuff.
