Marek Miltner: “Stanford talent can in some ways be worse than Czech talent” 
Artificial intelligence seems to be the only thing anybody’s talking about right now, but who is the best person to talk to? In Prague, one of the top candidates is Marek Miltner, an entrepreneur turned academic working at Czech Technical University (CVUT) and Stanford University simultaneously. I sat down with him at his office at CVUT to pick his brain.

Himera’s Rudominski: “You can’t come up with this stuff in a lab”
Ukrainian defensetech is a very different kind of beast of what we see in the rest of Europe. One great example of how different is Himera, a manufacturer of secure communication systems that has gone beyond supplying the Ukrainian military to making deals with NATO countries. I sat down with Himera CEO Misha Rudominski to talk about his experience building a company in a country at war.

Pavel Doležal: “ I don’t think about Czechia anymore“
Pavel Doležal is a veteran entrepreneur in the Czech tech scene. He started his first company in the late 90s and has since founded and then exited more companies than most people will even work at. I sat down with him at the Holešovice offices of Keboola Industries, the data management platform he has helmed since 2017, for his take on the startup scene in Prague.

Jan Husták: “I will always be punk”
If you follow Czech startups, you know of Hustá, whether you’ve realized it or not. The PR firm has repped many of Czechia’s up-and-comers over the years, and its client list reads like a who’s who of everybody who is anybody in Czech tech. I sat down with the CEO and founder Jan Husták in Hustá’s Karlín office to find out more about his mission.
