CTO Meetup w/ Sokin, Tenderly & Deyta
AI-era CTO and Building a Team
Join us in Garaža for a technical conversation on building in the AI era across three perspectives: zero-to-one, growth, and long-term product evolution.
Igor is a few months into building an AI startup, Deyta, from scratch. Malcolm is scaling Sokin globally while building out an R&D hub in Belgrade. Nebojša has been building Tenderly since before LLMs, now navigating how dev tooling evolves in a completely different landscape.
We’ll focus on what’s changing:
How AI is affecting team size, structure, and output
Whether smaller teams are a real differentiator or just expected to ship more
What happens to junior engineers in this setup
What hiring in Belgrade actually looks like today
How the CTO role is shifting and what’s different vs. pre-LLMs, and what decisions matter now
Moderated by Tihomir Bajić from a CTO / early-stage investor perspective.
Sokin is a global payments and fintech platform focused on simplifying cross-border transactions and building modern financial infrastructure.
Deyta.ai is building a data infrastructure for long‑horizon AI agents, a context-aware memory layer that's self-evolving and always-on.
