After that, Imaguru continued to develop a Belarusian community online, as well as open new hubs in European capitals. Such hubs are already operating in Madrid, Vilnius, and Warsaw; in the future, Imaguru will start operations in other European cities. Imaguru has become a partner of Google for Startups.
