Bulgaria’s most successful social entrepreneur Pavel Andreev on Darik Radio: “The price is high, but the result is priceless”

“The price is high, but the result is priceless.”
With these words, Pavel Andreev, founder of the global fundraising platform PavelAndreev.ORG started his interview on the Bulgarian national Darik Radio.

In an open and thoughtful conversation, he speaks about the personal motivation behind the platform, the challenges along the way, and the decisions that continue to shape its development.

What drives the mission

“What motivates me are the thousands of people we’ve helped and the lives that have been saved,” Andreev shares.

He points to real examples — including campaigns for children with oncological diseases who today are healthy — stories that remain at the core of his long-term commitment and resilience.

“That is what gives me the energy to keep going,” he adds.

From idea to global platform

In the interview, Pavel Andreev reflects on the process of building an international fundraising platform — from an initial idea to a global community of donors and campaigns.

He outlines several key factors behind this growth:

• continuous work with people in vulnerable situations
• building trust in a highly sensitive environment
• developing a technological infrastructure capable of supporting large-scale campaigns
• daily communication with donors, beneficiaries, campaign organisers, and partners.

The challenges of social entrepreneurship

The conversation also explores the broader reality of social entrepreneurship — a space where balancing mission and sustainability often requires difficult decisions.

Andreev openly addresses the “price” involved — both personal and professional:

• constant responsibility toward people in critical life situations
• the need for fast decision-making under pressure
• building and maintaining trust at scale.

In this context, he emphasizes that trust is the most important currency in any donation platform.

Lessons along the way

The interview highlights not only the right decisions, but also those that required rethinking.

The journey of PavelAndreev.ORG is not a linear success story, but an ongoing process of learning, adaptation, and continuous improvement.
