How did you come up with your startup's idea?

I solved my own problem. I have an informational podcast that I wanted to mine for ebooks and once I started the work, I realized I would teach AI to do it and the Magic Bookifier was born.

Initial idea or problem-space comes from own experience, a problem you have suffered. Then refinement comes with user conversations.

Before https://Skinive.com, I was involved in the development of other telemedicine ("remote medicine") and noted that about 20% of all patient questions were related to skin diseases. Patients had to wait a long time for an answer from the dermatologist. Market research indicates a large shortage of specialists: on average, there are only 35 dermatologists per 1 million inhabitants in the European Union, which is clearly insufficient. The emergence of artificial intelligence gave the solution, especially high-precision artificial intelligence solutions for medical imaging processing. Unlike complicated X-rays, MRIs and CT scans of internal organs, taking pictures of the skin is much easier. Through these developments, skinive has automated the assessments of skin conditions with the help of artificial intelligence and a smartphone.

We were constantly finding ourselves asking each other where certain files were located, who had access to them, or how to find a Figma design. Despite using Google Drive, Notion, Slack, and Figma, we still struggled to stay organised. That’s when Wildan, our CTO, proposed an idea of building a search engine that could scan all of our apps and find any needed data with a simple title or keyword search. This is the story of Klu.so :)

Me and my co-founder just had a brainstorm session where we threw music related concepts against a wall and see which one we loved most!

Me & my co-founder were working on a mobile app. We encountered couple of major issues including UI sluggishness and memory leaks which were not easily reproducible. We started writing some code to capture such issues in production, and we kept adding other capabilities. Finally we decided to productise that and thus we came up with Finotes (https://finotes.com)

We were documenting Holocaust survivors to enable them to converse digitally with future generations. During the testing and feedback phase users said to us, "Can I interview my grandmother?" "Can I document the founder of my company?". We realized that since everyone has a story to tell we could them the chance at StoryFile.

Solving the biggest pain point for my biggest passion - getting to a great itinerary that everyone I’m traveling with will love. Heck just getting to one that I love without tearing my hair out has always been so difficult for me. Figured there had to be an easier way by making choices easier and more collaborative and using algorithms to schedule everything. Voila Trava was born. https://hellotrava.com

started in the back years when I was still own a marketing agency, I saw and use a lot of bad products, so I decided to start making products on my own to resolve my problems 🤓

Had really bad Tinder experience! :) Was teaching for 8+ years, had a lot of communication with gen z and found out topic that drives me: sex edutainment for students.
