Foundation First
By the time a company realizes that it needs legal and compliance guidance in the crypto space, it's already too late. The foundation is already set. Yes, probably we can build on top of it. What if we can't? A weak foundation cannot sustain rapid growth. A foundation with holes will never be stable enough. I can create precise onboarding or fraud monitoring systems, but are your bases flexible enough to allow me to build on them? Get smart on time about your business.
The story plays out like this... by the time you decide on the direction your business will take and all the cracks in the foundation are found, by the time the people at the core reveal their secrets, by the time there is true transparency and the core team get on the same page, the ship is already sinking.

The Main Problem
For many people, financial services are too expensive as financial institutions often have fees, minimum deposit requirements, and other upfront costs. This creates steep barriers to entry for people without much cash.
The Gray Area of Opportunity
Financial access and control should be the fundamental right of every human being and it can be initiated through the blockchain.
The True Impact
A working ecosystem of own platforms where the promise of crypto is activated and which are able to withstand future challenges even without any suppliers or contractors. To build a possibility for the business to be independent and to grant people that power. Send money fast and with zero or a minimum fee to your relatives and friends or partners. Offer your goods and/ or services online, but bring customers to your local store. Enlarge your customer database by online sales, learn to trade and win.

The Main Problem
There was a time when let's say a competing party wants to harm a company. Hundred of such cases are on record, usually from an anonymous party against a thriving business.
The Gray Area of Opportunity
At the time, there was no institution in Bulgaria that could confirm that the company offered customers unharmful services, despite that there was a law that required that. However, I found laboratories that were willing to provide their expert opinion.
The True Impact
The company proved that its services are harmless for the customers and continue operations without any administrative penalties and fines or reputational damages.
Insights
A way for Bulgarian legislation and standards.

The Main Problem
The Company owned billboards but did not have the license to operate them. They had invested in creating something without taking the proper steps — during a time when the outdoor ad space was controlled by several companies.
The Gray Area of Opportunity
For 1 year, and almost every day, I met with the responsible government employee of the municipality.
He refused. I returned. He gave busy work. I completed it.
The True Impact
10 years later, The billboard is still in operation. Asset for the company. And a win against corrupt practices.
Insights
Every person who owns a private property that meets certain requirements should be able to build billboards on it after getting a license.
