CroAI x TGG Meetup: Developers turned Entrepreneurs - Building startups in the age of AI
It’s about time we hop back over to Osijek & kick off The Geek Gathering 2025 with a special CroAI Meetup - Day 0 edition! 🙌
This time, we’re diving into "Developers turned Entrepreneurs: Building Startups in the Age of AI". 🚀
In 2025, the leap from developer to founder has never been easier (or harder). With AI copilots, open-source models, and global reach at your fingertips, you can build faster than ever. But turning code into a company? That takes more than features. It’s about shifting from dev → product builder → business owner.
To guide us through that journey, we’ve lined up a powerhouse trio:
🎤 Igor Vrdoljak, Owner & Co-founder of Netgen
🎤 Filip Novoselnik, Co-founder & CEO at Protostar Labs
🎤 Josip Sokcevic – San Francisco based software engineer and ex-Google
We’ll explore the mindset shift, the pitfalls (tech alone won’t cut it, you’ll need customers, sales, and resilience), and the lessons today’s developer-founders are learning on the journey from idea to impact. 🎯
