PETR JAHN
Managing Partner
Petr loves new ideas, analyzes, and creates strategies. He focuses on finding new opportunities and looking at things from different angles. He loves the meaningful use of AI technologies, preferably where they aren’t yet common. He is full of visions and ideas, but, as he says, pragmatism is needed at the end of the day. He says that he learned the most by traveling and orienteering, for which he, unfortunately, no longer has that much time. Still, these things taught him determination, tenacity, and the need to make decisions quickly, even if everything is not predetermined.
Petr was involved in founding the digital media group Adexpres and was part of its management until its sale to the multinational group Dentsu. Throughout his time at Adexpress, he discovered new ways and created unique products that became part of the Adexpress portfolio. After the sale to the Dentsu group, he started investing in the company as part of marketing automation and consulting for other startups; he recently joined the Campiri, Samba.ai, project and founded the MyReSport project.
