THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2015 Until fairly recently, even just two years ago, Indiegogo didn’t really seem like a serious alternative to Kickstarter among crowdfunding platforms. Today, however, the two platforms seem much more evenly matched. One of the main reasons is...
THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2015 In August 2014, I was invited to be part of Telekom’s campaign introducing interesting businesses and entrepreneurs. As part of the campaign, they made a short video about me, which I also wrote about on my blog. RTL Klub (one of Hungary’s major...
THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2015 Finally, finally! After a month and a half of delays, the first Virivee shop in Budapest, Hungary opened on Monday. Opening a physical shop is a pretty big milestone for a small independent fashion business, and for me, this is a particularly...

At the beginning of July, I was invited to the Balassi Institute for an official introduction, where the first-ever Virivee mini fashion show took place. Fashion shows aren’t exactly something you normally do with tights, but the organizers specifically asked me to put together...
On April 29, 2014, I took part in the Failure Conference as one of the speakers. The idea behind the Failure Conference is to show that failure and setbacks are a natural part of entrepreneurship. The speakers talk about how they got back on their feet, how they moved...
