I am just an entrepreneur, just a normal person, a normal husband, a normal guy. 

Nothing special for real, I am just a normal guy.

But because I am on the stage, I have a strong personal branding and we run tekpon awards where we have 1000 strong leaders from AI and SaaS industry, people consider me more than a person. 

But trust me, I am just a normal guy! 

And I love to help others! 

From the bottom of my heart,
Alexandru Stan

We are hiring!

Probably tekpon will become the largest B2B SaaS & AI marketplace in Europe. But we are not there yet, we have only 300.000 buyers and 6200 sellers 

So we need sales legends, content gurus, marketing ninjas, Dexter’s developers and AI geeks, so if you think you can adapt to everything and still stay human, contact us. 

Our motto is: We rise by lifting others and you need to be happy for other people’s success 

We are not in competition with anyone but ourselves, we want to become a better version every single day and to support the entire SaaS industry

✈️ Flight delay = Instant LinkedIn competition 

We’re flying to Dublin for SaaStock  but we don’t know when 🤯

This is the best SaaStock so far and it just started.

The 1:1 meeting area is already full and everyone can meet their ICPs.

I’m sure people will report the best ROI ever

One day before SaaStock , 

SFM members gather for a roundtable to debate key industry topics with AI leading the discussion. Definitely the right room for any founder to be in.

With David Neuhaus , Peter Loving , Joran Hofman , Stefan Smulders , Glenn Miseroy and other SFMers

We are now going to my favourite conference: SaaStock 

Why is my favourite?

✅it’s the biggest
✅it’s in Dublin
✅they really listen to feedback and adapt
✅they have legends on the stage not just content 
✅the focus is on networking now 
✅the best side events are there
✅SFM community is there 
✅they have a great team 
✅good vibe every year 
⚠️About ROI, it depends on us guys, Saastock is the best one but if we have 5 or 30X ROI depends on us!

Alexander Theuma is a man on a mission, not just an entrepreneur.

264,000$ (leads) in 2 days ❤️

I had 47 meetings in the first day at SaaStock 
The second day, only 18. 

65 meetings in 2 days 

Only 11 were a good fit and they are interested to work with tekpon 

The average contract at tekpon is $12K 

That’s 132000$ potential revenue in 2 days at Saastock (only my leads + probably the same for Cristian Dina)  

Unfortunately this year we didn’t had a booth and I heard about people having one they were super, super happy. 

A normal person has around 15 meetings per day so it makes totally sense to come to this fantastic conference every year! 

This was the best conference so far! 
✅quality people
✅focus on 1:1 meetings 
✅great content (didn’t attend but people said that) 
✅food was super good (gyros king)
✅nice side events 
✅general vibe = great! 

See you all next year! 🙏

tekpon AI summit its in Bucharest not Budapest. 

I love Budapest but the summit’s in Bucharest.

Bucharest it’s in Romanian 

Budapest it’s in Hungary.

Two beautiful countries 

But again, tekpon AI summit it’s in Bucharest.

Cristian Dina with Mirel Bran at Radio France Internationale ❤️

I am looking forward for this episode 🙏

Alex, I am not interested to invest in your startup, you can’t succeed! (2021)

Alex, it’s B2B traffic, you can’t have more than 5000 companies searching for software (2022)

Alex, ok, now you have 10,000 companies but it’s a plateau (2023)

Alex, you are really lucky, 50.000 companies are searching for software (2024) 

Alex, are you interested to invest in our startup? We are looking for smart money, I know tekpon has more than 1 million events and 180.000 users now (2025)

Me: send me your pitch deck!

CEO = a crazy person working 24/7
Head of Marketing = a dreamer
Head of Sales = wolf of the street 🤣

Product market fit = people can survive without you but they don’t want to🤭
MVP = install Wordpress 
Pivot = create a new company 

$1M ARR = you can’t buy a rolls 
$10M ARR = I believe I can fly 
$100M ARR = what color is your Rolls?

Unicorn 🦄 = I just convince someone to invest $1K at $1B 🤣

***just a joke….or maybe not! 😅

Peter Loving doesn’t need an introduction but if you don’t know him , add him now

Many of you congratulated me for Cristian’s achievement, but I have to say the real credit goes to him. It’s his work, his persistence, his trials. We, the Tekpon team, only gave him the freedom and support to try anything he wanted, as long as it was done with the intention of helping others.

Thank you all for your kind messages, we’re truly grateful. I’m glad you’re celebrating this moment with us. In Berlin, people already knew, and now we’re spending a day in Bucharest before flying to Dublin for my favorite conference, SaaStock, where I’m sure everyone already knows about Cristian being included in Forbes’ 30 Under 30.

⚠️tekpon AI summit update

Happy to see more and more Romanians joining SaaStock this year.

People underestimate what it means to be on the cover of a quality printed magazine. 

But actually the entire industry will see your face, your name, your brand and what your company does.
