Hey, I’m Damir.
Founder / AI researcher
Recently I hit pause to take a gap year, which sounds chill, yet it became the busiest year of my life. At 19, I built a $8M AI company, Vetra. It’s your personal secretary that saves a full workday every week by taking over your planning.

Built on Learning
Alongside shipping Vetra, I’m researching how AI reshapes early-stage teams and fundraising. I’m co-authoring with AI/ML engineer Aldamzhar Kiikbayev and have synthesizing 100+ founder interviews (Unicorns, YC, StartX, Alchemist, 500 Global). Guided by Geoffrey Moore (bestselling author, Stanford'67) and Poh Kam Wong (top-2% cited scholar, National University of Singapore), I keep the work grounded in evidence, not hype.

Let’s build something useful
My calendar is open. In the past few months I’ve met 200+ new builders and students — sometimes for a quick nudge, sometimes to stay on as a strategic advisor. If you’re building something meaningful, I’d love to hear from you.
