There are real entrepreneurs in Hungary, like myself, trying to get a product off the ground, raising money, eating ramen.

Some startups from Hungary with funding:

  - LogMeIn: remote-login-as-a-service, had Nasdaq IPO
  - Ustream: live streaming, raised $100M
  - Prezi: nifty presentations, raised $10M
  - Indextools: webmaster tools, acquired by Yahoo
  - Pocketguide: nifty iPhone tourist guides, raised couple $Ms
  - Gravity: recommendation engine, raised couple $Ms
Yes, we'd need a lot more.



For those of you who've used the Hamachi VPN software, LogMeIn are the guys behind it.


Arhh yes, the open source VPN software that LogMeIn decided to buy that they essentially broke the app with a software update to then force everyone to pay (I don't have the exact figure) something like $200+ a year to use.

I remember those guys!
