Meet Mario Krvaric

Contact me

I am Mario, and I help startups solve though challenges by scaling their tech, product and go-to market strategies. My journey started 15 years ago building my own products, when I quickly realized that tech was my way to make an impact.

With 15 years of experience building my own products and leading engineering teams, I’ve learned how to get things done — fast and effectively. I’ve always believed in breaking away from the standard playbook, which is why I focus on hands-on, actionable solutions that help startups move from early-stage struggles to real growth. I’ve been in your shoes and know what it takes to get to the next level.
