S čím viem ako mentor pomôcť
Donedavna som bol expat zijuci v Kodani, kde som pracoval v Accelerace, prvom startup akceleratore v Europe. Popri poslednom semestri studia MSc. Innovation and Business development som bol v Accelerace Venture scout and analyst. Pred usadenim v Kodani som zil na viacerych miestach v Dansku ale aj v Holandsku a Bulharsku.
Startup ekosystem je plny prilezitosti a ja som mal za ciel iba jedine, podporit vychadzajucich zakladatelov startupov na ich ceste. Chvilu trvalo kym som nasiel svoje miesto zameranie a prilezitosti, vola ucit sa a neunavne odpovedanie "ano" ma vsak posuvalo dalej. Ani po rokoch to vo VC alebo startupoch nie je jednoduche, no najtazsie je zacat.
Teraz som naspat na Slovensku, aby som nasledoval spolocnu viziu s Czech Founders VC. Myslienka je podporit startup foundrov od najskorsieho stageu kapitalom, sietov kontaktov, know-how a dalsou podporou v raste v nasom regione (SK&CZ). Momentalne vediem akceleracny program sherpa.
Moja vasen k innovaciam a startupom a cielavedomost ma priviedla k Venture Capital investovaniu (VC).
Tak ako som v minulosti dostal pomoc, inspiraciu a odvahu ja, tak by som sa chcel oplatit aj ja buducim podnikatelom, VC, alebo komukolvek kto seba este hlada ale svoju vasen v startupoch uz nasiel.
