Startups & Tech
I am trying to use my remaining youth to learn as much as possible and maybe even build something that works?
Founded few startups in Prague and Silicon Valley.
Now CEO of GitGut.ai
Developing AI in-game voice assistant that helps gamers to win more. Focusing on League of legends.
From 2020 to presentFood delivery startup based in Prague, focusing on corporate delivery. (corporate restaurant in cloud). Worked beautifully for almost 3 years then all of a sudden died because of coronavirus. Food delivery startups prospered due to the crisis but not us since we focus on offices and people went home office. We were unable to change to this new situation because creating B2C delivery network from B2B is simply crazy and imo impossible without resources.
From 2018 to 2020Dating app in Prague. Alternative to Tinder. Dating instead of swiping. Left since I failed to find a product market fit with product and kinda even dev. (I was working with offsource dev and I did not have experience to manage it)
From 2018 to 2019Based in London. Scaling the company. Several months of helping to find out sustainable marketing channels and growth strategy in general.
From 2017 to 2018CEO of food delivery startup based in Prague, focusing on extremely fast on-demand delivery under 10 minutes. From loss to profit in 4 months then acquired.
From 2017 to 2017P2P knowledge sharing platform where co-workers turn into friends through spending time together on different activities. We had founding investor, but no additional investments - we found out that companies are facing multi-platforming therefore we had no match. Same startup as Posli was obviously inspired by us and was accepted one batch later into YC https://zestful.com/. (Identical product)
From 2016 to 2016Tutoring startup focused on helping students to finish their universities effectively. First month, we made $4k of revenue with only one teacher. After 3 months we had $20k revenue with 40% of profit. After 5 months, 45 people in our team and status of the biggest tutoring company in Czech Republic. Two offers to be fully acquired. I decided to pass this company to my co-founder since I had offer to go to SV to build just another "a billion dollar worth idea" and that failed miserably.
From 2015 to 2016Team focused on creating websites and apps. Team of 5 friends. Our team was hired to two best development studios in Czech Republic.
From 2014 to 2015Startup focused on helping students to decide what to do after high school. Successfully helped 5 students on Uni's or with some small startup. No business potential - first project experience.
From 2013 to 2014Making cool drinks.
From 2012 to 2013Studying for fun long-distance studies "Forestry specialized in Forest Ecosystems Protection and Silviculture". I love forests and I decided to find out more about them. I am about to pause studies whenever I cannot handle it with GitGut which is a total priority.
From 2020 to presentLecturer in mimoskolu.cz, MOOC courses, self-studying astrophysics with some great professors in Czech republic.
From 2017 to presentEntrepreneurial "uni" in Silicon Valley, focusing on personal grow of people. Definitely recommended to people who are thinking about starting a business. Not too effective for people already in business development in my opinion but great connections for everyone though.
From 2017 to 2017Same like at University of Economics I passed only one semester before I decided to go to US so I had to stop the studies. I was able to test on this school my first bigger project DameZkousku.cz. Gained a lot of feedback from students and teachers. Although not such a huge income of academic knowledge - a lot of experience gained.
From 2015 to 2016I passed one semester but after that realized that this kind of deep economic studies is not what I want to be focused on. I met few great people that I am working with today.
From 2014 to 2015Thanks to self-studying and help of my parents I skipped one year & passed A-levels with 100%
