2021: Move to Los Angeles
On October 14, 2021, the founder and CEO of the electric bicycle manufacturer Delfast Bikes, Daniel Tonkopiy, announced a change of residence - he moved from Kiev to Los Angeles. The entrepreneur connected his migration with the desire to bring his company to the American market.
Why did I settle down in Los Angeles? It's simple. To do business. To sell electric bikes in the biggest market. We are here, with part of the Delfast team, to create and develop the company in the largest economy in the world. To have access to unlimited capital and the most advanced technologies. In a word, to play in the major leagues, and to increase our chances of becoming the champion of this league, "Tonkopiy wrote on his Facebook page. |
He added that he chose the United States "to have access to unlimited capital and to the most advanced technologies. To play in the major leagues, and to increase the chances of becoming the champion of this league. "
When asked in the comments why he chose Los Angeles rather than San Francisco, Tonkopiy replied that there were more customers in this city: both dealers and buyers.
According to Daniil Tonkopiy, his friends among investors have long recommended that the founder of Delfast Bikes move to the United States, because they believe that "startups should be created and developed in California."
I hope you have enough mind to go to the States to make and sell bikes there, "Tonkopiy quoted one of his friends and colleagues on Facebook. |
Earlier in 2021, Delfast Bike announced plans to revive the legendary Soviet motorcycle brand Dnipro. As the first project, engineers built a prototype electric bike, with the help of which they will try to set a world speed record in Bonneville. Thanks to participation in rides on a salt lake, the company plans to advance its project abroad.[1]
