Michal Hardyn is a Prague-based entrepreneur and investor who has built and sold multiple companies, including the cashback portal Tipli, where he serves as Co-Founder and CEO, the digital agency Stario, and the career portal VimVic.cz. He previously founded and sold SlevyDnes.cz and the 5DM.cz agency.

An active real estate investor himself, Michal built a portfolio of six developer apartments in Prague within a single year while working full-time. He created vb.cz out of frustration with the lack of a space where real investor numbers, mistakes, and successes could be shared openly, and now leads a team focused on practice over theory.
