Building something worth knowing about?
- Maybe you already have traction.
- Maybe your first users are telling you there is something here.
- Maybe the product works, but the next move still feels slightly out of reach.
PROWpeller was created for that exact moment: when a startup needs more than another introduction. It needs visibility in the right room, honest investor attention and a real opportunity to accelerate.
Bring the product.
Bring the numbers.
Bring the slightly unreasonable belief that this could become much bigger.
What is PROW?
PROW is where the CEE product and digital community meets in Timișoara to learn from international experts, exchange ideas and explore better ways to build products people genuinely want to use.
It brings together founders, product professionals, developers, designers, marketers and business leaders who are actively shaping what comes next.
This year, startups are not simply joining the audience. They are getting their own runway.
