Fully operational from Build

Carbon set up every operational layer: legal, HR, payroll, facilities, compliance.

Technology operating capability

Senior engineering profiles at 25 to 40% lower fully loaded cost than equivalent roles in Germany and France, sustained across the full life of the Hub.

"When Aviv Group set out to build a regional R&D center in Bucharest, we needed a partner who could own the operational complexity of establishing a function in an unfamiliar market. Carbon did exactly that. I'd recommend them to any leadership team deciding whether to build in a new market or partner to de-risk it."

Engineering Quality & Institutional Standards

"When we decided to build our technology capability internationally, Carbon really stood out, with an unrivalled ability to understand precisely what we were looking for in terms of technical standards and culture."

Felix Blossier

Co-Founder & COO, Pennylane

Engineering Quality & Institutional Standards

"The quality of Carbon's engineering network is supreme. The calibre was so high that for one hire, we had to internally create a new seniority level — 'expert' title. That's not something that happens with an ordinary partner."

Cosmin Bucur

Chief Architect, ING

Engineering Quality & Institutional Standards

“Carbon consistently delivers engineers that match our technical standards precisely. The standard is so reliable that we hire the overwhelming majority of everyone they put forward"

Kamila Pietrewicz

Head of Recruitment, TensquareGames

Technical Capability

"As VP of Engineering, working with Carbon has been fantastic. They prioritize the right engineers for our team over sheer volume, and the standard of how they build is consistently exceptional — yet they still move quickly. It's a combination you rarely find."

David Saltares

VP Engineering, Aula

Technical Capability

"Carbon helped us with bootstrapping Bolt's engineering offices in Bucharest and Warsaw. They have been instrumental in forming our engineering offices for us, with the generation of folks brought in by Carbon being a golden one for Bolt."
