Background

About Jaka Blazon

I am a professional skier turned entrepreneur, and I love working on challenging problems with smart creatives around the globe. I am also a TEDx speaker, you can check out my talk here: I’ve competed professionally as a skier, representing Slovenia all over the world in various competitions, and qualified for the 2012 Youth Winter Olympic games. At the age of 16, I traded in my skis for a Mac and began my entrepreneurial journey. One year after trading in my skis, I founded Wivu, a social tool enabling brands to communicate and connect with users, and was nominated as the top youth startup in Slovenia and top 150 most successful companies at the Pioneers Festival in Vienna. I currently serve as the VP of Partnerships at Povio Labs where we help entrepreneurs and companies build and launch products on-demand. We have one of the largest and smartest network of developers and work with top tech companies like Flexport, Toy Mail, Fooda, Editas Medicine, Rainforest QA. We’re kinda like a secret weapon for top companies.
