Hybrid Work’s Missing Ingredients: Community, Ideas, Relationships
"All real living is meeting," goes a line from Martin Buber's book “I and Thou,” published in 1923. It’s hard to imagine him lying there on the picturesque hills below the vineyards of Heppenheim, coming up with that sentence and thinking: "Oh, that would be so relevant to hybrid work one day." But if he did, he would be right. Buber’s core idea is that genuine human existence emerges through our encounters and relationships with others. Over a century later, that concept ma

Neuro Insiders: Turning Decisions About Marketing Visuals Into Predictable Outcomes
We’re always curious about how strong teams make better decisions — especially in environments where speed, focus, and clarity really matter. At Campus X, we work alongside companies that operate under constant pressure: competitive markets, limited attention, growing expectations. Creative choices in marketing are rarely just “nice-to-haves” — they directly affect performance, budgets, and growth. Today, we talk with Alexander Zhivkov , co-founder of Neuro Insiders, about ho

2025 in the rearview: growth in the in-between moments
Some years are defined by milestones. Others by what happens in between. 2025 belonged to the in-between moments — the everyday choices, conversations, and small improvements that don’t ask for attention, but slowly change how a place feels. Campus X continued to evolve not through sudden shifts, but through care, listening, and consistent action. Here’s how the year came together. Making Campus X better, one decision at a time One of the first tangible changes of the year

Freedom, Responsibility, and a Knock on the Door
Ask Roberta Pushkarova what it’s like to work at a venture capital fund, and you won’t get a pitch. You’ll get a story - one that begins with people, continues through community, and circles back to trust. As Marketing Manager at Eleven Ventures , Roberta supports founders from across Central and Southeastern Europe. Since 2012, Eleven has been investing not just capital, but also time, experience, and belief in teams building for something better. One of the constants in th

Bringing a Patch of Nature Indoors — Pet Grass Mats Now at Campus X
At Campus X, innovation comes in many forms — a new startup idea, a bold pivot, a workshop that sparks a solution. But sometimes, it’s a small act of care that opens up a whole new kind of value. This month, that spark came from one of our own: Katerina Chamova , part of the Americaneagle.com team, and an advocate for four-legged wellbeing. Inspired by a solution that’s already gaining traction in the U.S., she brought a fresh idea to our shared spaces — organic pet grass ma

Climbing the AI Maturity Curve: From Automation to Agentic Systems
Inside VertoDigital’s 9-Month Journey and Open Playbook On October 23rd, at Campus X, VertoDigital opened its doors — and its internal roadmap — to a packed room of founders, product leads, marketers, and curious operators.

It was a breakdown of how one team moved from playing with AI automations to building real agentic systems — and the human, technical, and cultural

History, Emotion, and a Bit of AI: How Two Campus X Members Brought Bulgaria’s Past to Life
There’s something quietly powerful about watching a historical figure speak. Not in a textbook. Not in black-and-white. But in full voice — animated, emotional, and eerily real. That was the goal. And at Campus X, it began with a simple conversation. “We were at an event,” remembers Stefan Grigorov, founder of FounderCentre. “Tiho and I had known each other before, but we sat down and started talking. I told him I’d been working on some interesting things with AI. He said, ‘O

The Pattern That Wouldn’t Go Away
Some startups begin with a wild idea. Others begin with a pattern - a quiet, stubborn signal that repeats itself across conversations, industries, and roles. For Katya Stoycheva , co-founder and CTO of Equitshare , the signal was unmistakable. “Even in the very beginning, when my co-founders and I were talking to people from different businesses, from different industries, we kept hearing the same thing: it’s hard to keep great people. Retention is the pain point.” That momen

A Trunk Full of Caps, and a Future Full of Hope
This Sunday, a full trunk of plastic bottle caps left Campus X. Packed by our colleague Sergey Bilyarski , the load was delivered to the Caps for the Future campaign - a grassroots initiative by the Lazar Radkov Foundation that turns small everyday actions into life-saving impact. “Капачки за Бъдеще” may look like a simple recycling project. In truth, it’s a nationwide movement that has already helped equip neonatal and pediatric wards with vital equipment - from incubator

Centralized Reception: Shared Infrastructure, Real Business Value - Not Another Cost
There’s a moment every growing company reaches when reception becomes a question. Not because welcoming people isn’t important - but because how it’s done starts to matter more than who does it. In many teams, reception is still treated as unavoidable overhead. Someone needs to accept deliveries, greet visitors, guide candidates, answer questions. The default solution is familiar: hire a receptionist and move on. But in a shared campus environment, that logic quietly stops

What Sparks the Fire: September Edition
Some months don’t just bring change - they offer proof that we’re building something that matters. This September, that proof showed up everywhere. In standing ovations on global stages. In rebranded walls that reflect company values. In data sets that quietly save clinical trials from failure. And in the people - the teams - who keep pushing forward, even when no one’s watching. Let’s take you inside the moments that made us pause, think, and cheer. 1. TrialHub turns the tid
