Title and video being silly.. yes, but putting that aside....

IT sector in Bulgaria has increased dramatically over the years. And apart of the large companies having their offices (hp, vmware, vray, microsoft, google opening soon.. and few others) and potentially thousand of little studios that outsource on a global scale, there are good amount of engineers abroad.

With 2 startup incubators, 2 shared coworking spaces and the amount of people involved in IT is it good to think about expanding your team in Bulgaria probably yes (providing small pre-education will ensure your engineers fit your needs) Is it comparable with SV dont think so. But the percentage of young people working in the IT for such a small capital (Sofia) (estimating 2-2.5 million people) is rather high.

There are actually more coworking spaces, even state-supported (socialist style) ones. And the two that you mean (Soho/betahaus) are actually overpriced trendy wastes of money. Also I think that incubators/cw-spaces/angel investors and the other trends that appeared with the boom are vastly overrated.
btw vray (or Chaos Group) is actually a bulgarian company
