Georgi Dichev:
Future Media, Bulgaria
Supported by: Youth Business Bulgaria
Georgi Dichev is helping to create the technology of the future
through his cutting-edge IT company, Future Media, which provides
innovative services for businesses by combining web and 3D
technology.
At just 20 Georgi won a Youth Business Bulgaria competition
which provided him with the funds to set up the company, and since
then Future Media has gone from strength to strength and is now
leading the way in its specialised sector.
Future Media Limited has six employees aged 20 to 25. The
employees in the company do not work fixed hours, the only
requirement is that they finish the task given to them on time and
that the work is of good quality. Bonuses are often provided for
outstanding work or overtime
Still only 23, Georgi and his staff have established a
successful business and undertaken many projects to date, working
both on their own ventures and those for other companies. In a
growing and competitive market, the team is oriented towards
innovative services that will have few competitors. He has several
unique ideas for new products.
Buoyed by his own success, Georgi is now keen to share his
experiences and inspire others, organising forums and initiatives
and offering free technological support to young entrepreneurs.
Georgi and his company help with the organisation of “Start UP”
– an annual entrepreneurship forum by developing their website and
all additional IT work pro bono. He has also shared his experiences
by lecturing at “Start UP” and other entrepreneurial events and is
now ready to serve as a mentor for Youth Business Bulgaria
himself.
