What I’m working on
I’m Jan, a Czech living in Asunción, building an AI-first marketplace for Latin America and SaaS tools. 13 years in finance and private equity, now a full-time founder and builder.
An open real-estate platform for Latin America, starting in Paraguay. Property search, new developments, agencies, and market data in one place.
Why I’m building it: Latin American real estate is full of opportunity, but information is fragmented. TuLugar makes more of the market visible and useful.
AI marketing tools for real-estate professionals. Stage a room, improve a listing photo, or turn it into a reel in minutes.
Why I’m building it: good property marketing is still slow and expensive. Pixly gives every agent a practical creative toolkit.
I didn’t begin as a software founder. I studied civil engineering, economics, and finance, then spent ten years in private equity and M&A after three years at PwC.
That background still shapes how I build: I care about the economics, I like difficult markets, and I prefer useful products over impressive demos.
