Space is where this started for me. I’ve liked to discover and create things for as long as I can remember, and Stargate SG-1, my favourite show, turned that into a passion for space and science fiction. When I looked closely at how European space companies get funded, I saw teams with excellent technology losing time and bids to paperwork, formats and process rules.
I’m Adrián, a product and delivery manager from Slovakia. For over a decade I’ve worked across fintech, e-commerce, B2B software and digital studios, leading product specification, pre-sales discovery and delivery on complex projects. At the same time, I taught at a private high school, which is where I learned to explain complicated things clearly to people who didn’t ask to be taught them. I build products for a living, so I started building one for this.
My goal is to take that friction away for every EU grant consortium, space included. The people doing the research should spend their hours on what they are good at, and the administration around funding should run in the background.
