Last year, Maxcode celebrates 20 years of building technology, partnerships, and a strong engineering culture in Iași and beyond.
To mark this milestone, we sat down with Maxcode’s three co-founders to reflect on the journey so far — from the early days of starting an IT company when the local tech ecosystem was still taking shape, to the values, decisions, and mindset that continue to guide Maxcode today.
In this interview series, our founders share personal perspectives on growth, technology, fintech, collaboration, and what it truly means to build software for the long term.
