  • Iulian Gioada - 4 Dec 2025
    I'll be honest: when I first started working with AI coding assistants, I thought we were on the verge of making code quality debates obsolete. Why obsess over clean architecture and test coverage when AI could just churn out whatever we needed? I was spectacularly wrong. After spending the last year working with these tools in production environments, and seeing both the incredible wins and the spectacular failures, I've come to realize something fundamental:
  • How to Build Fintech MVPs That Pass Regulation and Scale
    Sabrina Szabo - 27 Nov 2025
    Fintech has always moved fast. But speed alone is no longer a competitive advantage. It becomes a liability if it is not paired with structural integrity. The funding environment is warming up again, yet investor expectations have sharpened. Strong teams are not rewarded for being first to launch, but for being first to demonstrate real traction under regulatory, operational and technical constraints.
  • Mapping Fintech Startup Momentum In Europe And The US
    Paula Cristea - 16 Oct 2025
    Raising capital is just one part of the equation. For fintech founders in 2025, the real challenge lies in building products that are not only fast and secure, but also AI-native and regulatory-ready from day one. Between €5.2 and €6.3 billion has already flowed into European fintech startups this year, while U.S. firms continue to attract the lion’s share globally, capturing 60 % of all fintech investment and 71 % of mega-round funding in Q2 alone.

    Ilie Ghiciuc - 25 Sep 2025
    Private equity value creation doesn't end after the first ninety days. In our last article, we examined the post-buy tech sprint, a period where execution speed and alignment are crucial for building early momentum. But once that initial groundwork is laid, the focus shifts. Speed is still important, but now it’s about sustainability. And that’s where the conversation moves from value capture to value protection.

    For private equity sponsors, the deal close used to signal the start of a new chapter. Now, it marks the beginning of a sprint. The pace of activity in 2025 has intensified: U.S. deal value topped $838.5 billion last year, and global figures are on track to hit $1 trillion. European PE deal value also rose strongly in 2024 and shows cautious but positive momentum into 2025. But the path to value has become anything but straightforward.
  • AI in Scientific Publishing - A Turning Point for Platform Builders
    Paula Cristea - 25 Aug 2025
    Generative AI has moved from the margins of academic publishing into its core infrastructure. Tools like large language models are now widely used by researchers to assist with writing, translation, and formatting. At the same time, these technologies are being misused to produce low-quality or misleading content at scale. Recent analyses reveal the scale of this shift: in biomedical publishing alone, more than 13% of 2024 abstracts likely involved AI-generated language, based on identifiable stylistic patterns.
  • How Mature Telcos Can Streamline Without Losing Stability
    Razvan Cozma - 21 Aug 2025
    In an industry where reliability is non-negotiable, large telecom companies often find themselves trapped in a paradox. While they’ve mastered scale and uptime, they struggle to shed the architectural weight of decades-old platforms, duplicated systems, and legacy workflows. As demand grows for more agile, customer-focused services, the pressure to modernize mounts, without triggering alarms in the network operations center.
