Letter to WIN shareholders from Dr. Plamen Rusev

14 May 2025


Dear shareholders,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your trust!

We continue to work dedicatedly – with even more effort and investment capital to justify it every day.

Together we wrote history on the BEAM market on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange:

  • 3 times more total capital raised (>18 million BGN) compared to the largest fundraising so far;
  • Over 2 times more in a single capital increase (>12 million BGN)– a record for Bulgaria;
  • Over 25% liquidity for the last 12 months – WIN is among the historical liquidity champions of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange;
  • Over 1.2 million BGN net profit for our second financial year;
  • 230% revenue growth in portfolio companies – places WIN among the top 1% in the world of VC in terms of growth.


Thanks to the dedicated and categorical support and personal contribution to each of the members of the WIN board of directors - Ivo Slavov, Petar Neychev and Georgi Hristov. 🙏🏻


Thanks to the new shareholders, who increased the leading representatives of some of the most successful industrialists, entrepreneurs, investors, representatives of athletes that Bulgaria is proud of, financiers, lawyers and other leaders among the shareholders of Webit Investment Network! Your trust is an additional seal and validates the WIN model! 🙏🏻


A special thank you to Karol's team, who demonstrated exceptional professionalism and personal commitment and dedication at every level. Without them, this success would not have been possible. 🙏🏻


The truth is that (as usual) along the way, many did not believe - first in WIN, then in the extraordinary success of the IPO, our management and our experience, they questioned the investments in our  portfolio, they expected this capital increase to be a fiasco. And yet, despite market pressure and difficulties, together we did the unthinkable.


I remind you of the environment in which this historic success occurred, including  the global stock market crashes and the facts that the vast majority of investors at that time were selling, not buying stocks; Trump started a trade war with the whole world; even Spain and Portugal were in blackout and no electricity… ,  on the day we were supposed to announce the increase, Angel Rabadjiyski called me with a proposal to postpone it. But 2 minutes later, our teams were already fully prepared for what we did together and shared my conviction in our success.


This was not just a capital increase. This was a vote of confidence, the likes of which the Bulgarian capital market has never seen before.


I am grateful to you.

And, as always, we stand with our team and I personally with the name, experience and trust, my achievements for the last 30+ years and the global Webit network behind WIN. Because I believe that together we can achieve even greater victories.


Sincerely,
Plamen Rusev
Founder, WIN | Webit
