StarLift

Juraj was the first starlifter we placed in a great high-growth startup Spendee based in Prague for a summer internship before he went off to study Computer Science at Cambridge last summer, because every step in the right direction counts! Check out the interview with him on our blog to learn a thing or two (actually many) from someone truly exceptional!

Juraj Mičko: “Cambridge is like a candy store full of opportunities” This is one hell of a StarLifter! Juraj may only be 20 and come from Košice, a town in eastern Slovakia, but that did not stop him from…

Not only is our starlifter Jakub a great engineer, but he's also slowly but surely turning into a media star! Forbes Czech Republic interviewed him about the nature of work in NYC based startup Vestorly.

Home office je velká změna - Šťastnější v práci Práce z domu se tam pořád pokládá za benefit, firma dává 12 dolarů na oběd denně a občerstvení v kanceláři zdarma je standardem, stejně jako pingpongový stůl. Jakub Kvita vystudoval IT v Brně, dnes, kdy je mu šestadvacet, pracuje v newyorském startupu Vestorly, který se zabývá...

ATTENTION! Today we are officially launching our blog to share stories of our Starlifters, stimulate passion for technology and entrepreneurship and provide useful information, insight and experience. We want to inspire by rising Czech and Slovak stars and make young people fully appreciate that in order to succeed in tomorrow’s world, they need to keep going up!

MEET ONE OF THE FIRST (unofficial) STARLIFTERS (already from 2011)! StarLift is all about exploring - your potential, entrepreneurship and the world in general. We also do our best to explore - opportunities for placing our starlifters in particular. And hence we spent a few weeks in New York this summer speaking to local startups and getting to know the NYC ecosystem. Vojta Ciml from Slideslive.com kindly provided us with the best possible base for our operations in his office located at WeWork.com in downtown Manhattan (thank you!!). The story of SlidesLive is our hope for you - coming to Silicon Valley in 2011 just for 2 months, getting excited about creating something meaningful, working super hard for it, failing, learning and persevering and slowly but surely (hopefully) succeeding. https://archiv.ihned.cz/c1-65782580-investori-nalili-milion-dolaru-do-firmy-ktera-nataci-prednasky

Do you remember that good old Microsoft Messenger sound? Or that sound your computer made when it was starting up back in the ’90s? Will your children know what a dial-up modem sounded like?
