Ask HN: Running startup from exotic land of Croatia

10 points by retro212 ↗ HN
So, we're from Croatia and have a rather awesome project going on. The problem is that people here either have no money to invest or have the money but absolutely no clue about what we do or Internet in general. We've managed to push our project all the way to a working, functional prototype almost all by ourselves. Now what? We are almost done, have a few operational web sites on our CMS platform and almost no perspective since we live in the dark corner of planet Earth. Any advice?

Hvala ti na reply-u, javio ti se kolega iz firme na mail, pa provjeri da slucajno nije zavrsio u Spam folderu. Zivio.

That's the beauty of the internet, you can sell your product/service to anyone in the world, no matter what your own location is.

What do you need the rest of the world for? Seriously - Croatia has four million people. Isn't there enough of a customer base locally? Build the best available product in your language, and you have purple cow.

Gee fijukati, želim sam živio u Hrvatska, tako da sam mogao kupiti vaš proizvod! Istočna Europa mi je uvijek uzbuđen sa svojim niske troškove života i to je početak kulture.
