Introduction
When we launched Piroi | my BUSINESS IN ROMANIA®, our goal was simple: help business owners, CFOs, and accountants stay ahead of constant legislative changes—without digging through endless PDFs. Delivering timely, curated legislative and tax updates—business intelligence, simplified.
In the first week, the app reached the Top 10 in Romania’s App Store, appearing alongside global names like Reddit, Substack, and Google News.

But this post isn’t about rankings. It’s about how that early traction proved a point—and why we believe this model could work in many other countries too.
What this Business Intelligence App Offers
The app is not just a newsfeed or content aggregator. The Piroi app delivers:
Real-time updates on tax, payroll, and company law
Expert commentary, carefully curated
Access to forms, deadlines, and official documents
Clean mobile design, built for speed and clarity
Dual-language content (Romanian + English)
Podcast-style audio summaries for busy professionals
Push notifications, driving high engagement
Why It Works — and Why It Matters
The app worked in Romania because it met a clear, underserved need.
But that need isn’t unique to Romania. Professionals around the world face:
Constant regulatory updates
Fragmented access to trustworthy information
A growing pressure to stay compliant, faster
Our app addressed that locally. But the framework, delivery model, and experience are designed to scale globally.
And that’s where our next chapter begins.
Scaling the Concept Through Trusted Partnerships
We’re seeking strategic partners—particularly within the TAG Alliances and Harvard Business School network—interested in scaling this model together within new countries or regions.
What we’re offering:
A proven technical infrastructure
A flexible, modular content system
Ongoing support for localisation, legal filtering, and monetisation
A business intelligence app available for white-labelling or co-branding
Wherever you are, if your market faces similar challenges, this model is ready for you.
For larger markets or multinationals, we also envision regional hubs, where several countries can be served under a unified framework. This approach balances localisation with operational efficiency, and supports clients working across borders.

Inspired by Bloomberg’s First Step
We’ve often said this isn’t just an app—it’s the foundation of a broader platform. Just like Bloomberg began with a terminal delivering fast, clean financial data, we started with a mobile solution delivering relevant, local business intelligence.
We’re not comparing ourselves to giants—just taking notes from how they started:
One clear problem. One smart delivery. One market at a time.
