I build products.
And the companies behind them.
Now exploring what’s possible with AI.
The story so farThe founder chapter · 2021 onwards
I founded Tweetoshi in 2021 and built the team that grew it into Openvibe. We made AI part of Openvibe’s workflow from the start, helping a small team experiment and ship quickly.
Tweetoshi
OpenvibeToday I lead Openvibe, our app for the open social web, as founder and CEO. I’ve raised $1M+ from investors including Automattic, and Apple selected the app for its 26 apps for 2026.
In 2023, I joined the Wolf accelerator in New York. A chance to step out of the familiar and build alongside other founders.
After Automattic initially passed, I flew to Reykjavík to meet Matt Mullenweg. That conversation helped bring Automattic on board as an investor.

At 17, I started a tech YouTube channel. Later, studying finance and discovering Bitcoin led to Krypto Mates, a second channel about how money works.
The channels grew to 16k and 35k subscribers. I learned to explain complicated things, listen to an audience, and earn someone’s attention. I still draw on that when building products.
The earliest ventures
I’ve been coming up with small business ideas since childhood. By 18, I was shooting photos and videos for luxury hotels across Europe, and went on to film as a licensed drone pilot for clients including Česká televize, the Czech national public service broadcaster.
Life in between
There’s usually another idea I want to try, and another tab I probably don’t need. When I’ve had enough screen time, I like to go outside and touch grass.
I’m always up for a good conversation about product, AI, and what comes next.
