The HQ

Build your business in Sofia. Not on your own.

The Vitosha HQ brings together people who run their own business in Sofia and work in English: the contacts, the feedback and the company that make building easier.

Trusted contacts & intros

Accountants, lawyers, coworkings, suppliers, clients: recommendations from people who have actually worked with them.

Honest feedback

Share your offer, your pricing or your next step, and get straight answers from peers who build too.

Clients & partners

Collaborations start when someone asks. No cold pitching.

Shared experience

Workspaces, freelancers worth hiring, first local clients: what doing business from Sofia is really like.

Meet in person

Business coffees, coworking sessions, afterworks and the occasional hike on Vitosha.

Small on purpose

Every application is read before anyone joins.

Members share their own experience and contacts. The group doesn't replace a lawyer or an accountant, and rules change: always check with a professional.

Inside the group

A group chat that turns into real plans.

Ask in the morning, get a contact by lunch, meet for coffee later in the week. That's the rhythm we're building.

  • i.Questions answered by people who do business here.
  • ii.Intros made when someone asks, never pushed.
  • iii.Plans announced with the place, the nearest metro stop and any cost.

The odd hike

Each plan is announced in the group with the place, the nearest metro stop and any cost.

Joining the group is free. At meetups, everyone pays their own way.

Who it's for

People who build. In Sofia, in English.

Running a company, freelancing or launching something real. Revenue doesn't decide the quality of a conversation.

  • Founders
  • Business owners
  • Freelancers
  • Consultants
  • Agency owners
  • Online businesses
  • People launching a project
  • Locals who work in English
  • You live in Sofia, or you're moving here soon.
  • You run your own business, or you're launching a concrete project.
  • You work in English and you'd like to give as much as you get.
  • You respect people's time and inboxes.

Simple rules

No spam, no unsolicited selling, no get-rich-quick schemes. Introductions and collaborations are welcome when someone asks for them.

A circle, not a crowd

Every application is read before anyone joins. That keeps the conversation useful and the trust real when you meet in person.

Sofia

From Vitosha Blvd to Business Park.

Members live and work all over the city, and meetups move around so everyone is close to one now and then.

FAQ

Good questions.

Anything else? Ask us once you're in the group.

Who is The Vitosha HQ for?

Founders, business owners, freelancers and consultants who run their own business, and people launching a project, who live in Sofia and work in English.

Is it free?

Yes. Joining the group is free. At meetups everyone pays their own way, and any cost is announced up front.

Why do I need to apply?

So the group stays useful: people building something in Sofia who want to help each other, not sellers looking for leads. Every application is read by a person.

I'm only just launching. Can I join?

Yes, if your project is concrete. Pick "Launching" and tell us what you're building: early-stage questions are welcome.

How do I join after applying?

We review your application and add you to the WhatsApp group within a few days, on the number you gave us. If your WhatsApp privacy settings only let contacts add you to groups, we'll send you an invite link instead.

Is the group already up and running?

The Vitosha HQ is welcoming its first members. Conversations and meetups are shaped by the people who join now.

I'm not in Sofia yet, or just visiting.

If your move is concrete, pick "Moving soon". The group is built around people who live here, so if you're visiting, tell us a bit more and we'll see what makes sense.

Will the group help with legal or accounting questions?

Members share contacts and their own experience. The group doesn't replace a lawyer or an accountant, and rules change: always check with a professional.

Can I talk about my business?

Of course: knowing what everyone does is the point. Spam, unsolicited selling and cold messages are not OK.

Building something in Sofia? Come and say hello.
