From AI to value

From a small team of software consultants with passion for societal change, to a trusted AI tech partner.

Our Story

We were founded in 2018 by executives believing in the power of tech transformation not only for businesses but also for societies.

Blagovesta Pugyova, founder of Gift a Book Foundation, helping children with no parental care, left her promising career at Deloitte to found Childish. This was the original name of Vector Labs and it still has the children foundation as a shareholder.



Today, we are a nearly 50 people strong organization, awarded by Forbes and Enterprise magazine for socially responsible and innovative company. Some of the largest banks, pharma, media and manufacturing companies trust us for their digital and AI transformation.

In 2010 we had one big dream: to make all Bulgarian children cared for and supported, even those without parents.



The Give Time Foundation, which we founded, helped thousands of children meet thousands of mentors. Soon, we began to dream even bigger. What if we used our consultancy experience to build a software company that could help the foundation thrive?



As a result, we founded the company in 2018 and attracted the best AI and software engineers in the region. Dozens of clients have since used our services, and by doing so, they also supported children without parental care in Bulgaria. Because 20% of Vector Lab's profit goes to our Foundation.

“Our strengths lie in the successful combination of business knowledge, strategy definition, data understanding and AI model design and development. In combination with our consulting skills, which incorporate the results of the models into the production processes, this leads to scaling performance for our clients.”
