Jirka Bachel brings 18 years of experience building products, teams, and venture-backed tech at the intersection of search, engineering, and applied AI. He began his career at Seznam.cz—one of the few search engines to compete head-on with Google—where he built the company’s first mobile app, scaling it to 1.5M+ monthly active users.

Later, Jirka co-founded a bootstrapped engineering agency that scaled to €3M ARR, shipping solutions for Fortune 500 clients including Volkswagen and UDR. After reinvesting over €1M of agency profits into product development, he stepped away to found Navigara, backed by QQ Capital and prominent angel investors like Michal Štencl.
