Sergey Osipov introduces Placy — an AI real estate assistant with €1M pre-seed, Microsoft Startup Hub recognition and pilots in Cyprus, Athens, Dubai, London.

Explains why many startups reinvest profits and investor funds into growth, later shifting to a 'milking' strategy and claiming profitability.
