Designer, Idea generator, Startup
Bio
Started as a researcher and lecturer of CS, Math and Navigation at University of Ljubljana; Now joining the Silicon Valley start-up roller coaster with Dubjoy.
My mission is to understand human nature to the extent that I will be able to improve peace of mind, happiness and health on a large scale.
I'm passionate about
Dubbing, subtitling, localization, translation, interpreting. Building digital, global, socially responsible and sustainable startups. Surfing the ocean.
An idea worth spreading
When looking at startups, one possible perspective is to question yourself, the entrepreneur: does my idea provide possible jobs for the oncoming digital economy, not just behaviorally optimized theft of time. And, will my startup raise conscience of this planet or will push people towards the mental slums of the collective conscience. I try to walk this talk when building Dubjoy, creating a blueprint for a responsible digital company.
The TED story
I found Benjamin Zander's TED talk so inspiring that I wanted my mom to see it too. Since she doesn't understand English I was trying to dub it for her and the available solutions were so bad that I decided to build a start-up which will solve this problem. dubjoy.com makes video translation and dubbing seamless.
