I joined the then starting boutique bicycle shop 1bike in the desire to build a company of my own, producing something I love — bicycles. In one year we managed to open a work shop in Sofia, increase annual sales by 150% to 105 customised bikes in 2014, launch a new website with an e-shop. In 2015 we initiated the “Kolelo za smet, za dete velosiped” charity campaign that let us donate bicycles to children in need — 500 in total for three years.
