Prečo chcem byť mentorom/kou

Rad by som sa profesionalne posunul dalej

Viac o mne

Partner at ZAKA, where we back pre-seed and seed founders in health and industrial technologies in the US and Europe. Prior to VC, I helped scale three companies from 0 to millions in revenue. I've been in the weeds, so I know what early-stage actually feels like.If you're building in the space, reach out.
