I have sat on both sides of the table — as a startup founder and as an investor.

As a founder I raised over €3M and one of my ventures reached a successful exit. I know how hard it is to get honest feedback from investors when it matters most.

As an investor I managed a €14M fund, sat on 8 boards, and ran over 300 founder interviews during due diligence. I have seen investor decisions from their side of the table.

I now use that combination to mentor 500+ startups and to build B2B and scale Gardeon across new markets (€20M in annual revenue).

Both sides of the table

I am both a founder and an investor — few people in Slovakia have both experiences at once.

I'm doing it now, not just in the past

I build B2B and scale Gardeon across new markets (€20M annual revenue), every day. Not textbook theory.
