What do the founders of Cursor, Kalshi and Wispr Flow have in common with Andrew Zbytek? Ali Partovi from Neo VC led their pre-seed round.
Andrew had two exits before thirty (Nuledo → CERN, ČEZ Dukovany; Plantee → Agro CS) and launched the first agritech fund in Central Europe (€60M).
As a first Czech, he joined South Park Commons - the most selective product creator community in the US, founded by early Facebook and Dropbox engineers and home to fireside chats with guests like Sam Altman. They accept just around 1% of those who apply.
He met his co-founder there, and two weeks later, he had a company and closed an extraordinary pre-seed investment round. That's how fast San Francisco moves.
How is building a startup different in SF, and why does Europe keep losing the race on speed?
And the harder question underneath - what's even worth building? Andrew sits where that's argued every day, with hottest insights from OpenAI and Anthropic. Now he's bringing the signal back.
