Search Fund Activity in Romania?

Romania is expected to grow much faster than most countries in Eruope in the next decade. The expected growth rate would be similar to Poland. But while I saw quite a big interest in Poland and already some active search funds, I did not see many signals from Romania.
Is there anyone already active in Romania?

As you already started exploring in Romania, did you have some meetings already with some people that are more advanced? Do you know if there have been already some acquisitions? Or people that are in advanced stages? It might be interesting to learn from their experience.
I am curious to understand what are the motivations of the potential sellers. Romanian business environment is not as mature as Western Europe. I am not sure if there are a lot of owners close to retirement age. So sucession planning might be less of a problem than in Western Europe.

I am a new part-time self-searcher from Romania, looking to find something preferably in the tech industry were I can leverage my current experience.
At the moment I haven't found any funds based in Romania. Folks that I talked too mentioned the same about Poland, but couldn't recommend anyone locally.
I would love to connect with anyone interested in my home country. DM me here or on Linkedin.
