Matej Pacan's Story
"I fell in love with the feeling of freedom. Wake up, go to the computer, visualize something, and two hours later it appears on screen exactly how I wanted it (or keep going until it does)."
Matej's Journey
🎮 The Minecraft Years
At 14, mom moved me to Norway. Lost all friends, got depressed, and coped by creating a Minecraft server. It peaked at 30,000 active players. Suddenly I had to understand marketing, team management, cash flow, and building funnels.
đź’ˇ The First Dollar
ChatControl got 200K+ downloads for free. In 2015, I put a €3 price tag on it. Within 2 months, I was making more than my mom's salary as a qualified psychologist in Slovakia. I was hooked.
🚀 The Big Decision
2017: Hit $1K/month. Dropped out of University of Oslo. Moved on my own. Blocked all distractions. 6X'd revenue by end of 2018. Sometimes you have to burn the boats.
🎓 Teaching Others
In 2019, I founded MineAcademy.org to teach people how to code, get a high-paid career and become a "new" person. Java, career development, scaling servers. 3,400+ students later, many work at Google, Tesla, or run their own businesses.
Why I'm Here: I've seen too many talented developers stuck in tutorial hell, building things nobody wants. I believe if you influence one person to build something meaningful, and they help 1,000 people, and those people help another 1,000... that's the ripple effect. That's real impact.

"I don't want to be a product of my environment. I'm a catalyst for change, and I want my environment to be a product of my change."
Vaclav's Journey
🌍 Small City, Big Dreams
Started in a small Czech city where entrepreneurship wasn't even a thing. Chose a different path. Built online marketing communities, positioned for US clients. Made first million by 23. Proved geography is no limit.
🚀 The US Adventure
Co-founded tech agency in US. $1M revenue in 18 months. Launched fitness platforms: Venus Factor, Yoga Burn—4M+ users combined. Built streaming platform with Flo Rida. Two clients crossed $100M revenue.
đź’° The VC Years
After exit, flipped to investor side. Founded Soulmates Ventures. 2 funds, €12M AUM, 17 investments. Focus on sustainability and deep tech. 5 exits achieved. Learned what makes founders succeed or fail.
🎯 The Mission Now
Building platform to redefine fundraising. AI-driven investor matching. Helping founders get funded smarter and faster. Teaching the insider playbook: how to make investors chase you, not the other way around.
Why I'm Here: I've seen both sides—built companies from zero, invested in dozens more. I know what investors look for because I am one. I've helped founders raise €250K to €4M. Now I'm teaching the system that gets you funded faster and on better terms.
WHY WE BUILT VIBE TO EXIT
We've been where you are. The late nights coding. The features nobody uses. The struggle to find customers. We've also been on the other side—investing, evaluating, deciding who gets funded.
We've seen brilliant developers fail because nobody taught them business. We've seen amazing products die because founders couldn't sell. We've seen startups with huge potential get terrible deals because they didn't know better.
Enough. It's time technical founders had the real playbook.
