About Ivo Radulovski

Ivo Radulovski is an investor and AI leader who helps startups and companies scale in the AI era. Across 25 years and three exits in fintech and enterprise SaaS, every role (founder, CTO, investor) came down to one thing: helping companies grow. Today that runs through Humenta (AI-powered growth for startups and companies), Chief in AI Global (a community for AI-era leaders, now building), and Chief in Tech Capital, a fund backing AI-native founders sourced from the 150,000+ member WomenTech Network he co-built, whose founders have raised $850M+ in funding and built $5B+ in value. Co-author of Chief in Tech (Wiley, 2025), he runs his own companies on the AI he builds, which is how he knows it works. AI is the lever. Growth is the goal.

Across every role, founder, CTO, operator, investor, he's done one thing: helped companies grow. In 2007 he launched his first startup, versichern24, which became Austria's largest insurance-comparison portal with 1.7M+ users (acquired 2015). He went on to co-found and exit Eversports (a booking marketplace that raised €9.6M) and to build Propeople/FFW into a top-3 digital agency serving Pfizer, Stanford, and Citibank. He served as CTO of fi-compass at the European Investment Bank, a platform supporting €640B of investment, pairing startup speed with institutional-grade rigor. None of these were AI companies. They are the foundations AI now runs on, and where he learned what actually makes companies grow.

He began working with generative AI in 2020 (OpenAI, then Jasper in 2021), years before it was common, and made "AI-first" an operating decision. AI is the biggest growth lever he's seen in 25 years, so he builds with it, invests in it, and puts it in the hands of the founders and companies he works with.

Eight years ago, with his partner Anna Radulovski, he went all-in on WomenTech Network, now 150,000+ members across 179 countries, and the Chief in Tech ecosystem connecting thousands of founders and 2,000+ Fortune 500 technology executives: the same why, at network scale. He architected the platforms behind all of it. In 2025 they co-authored Chief in Tech (Wiley), a best-seller featuring 50+ C-level contributors.

Today that why runs through three vehicles. Through Humenta, he grows startups and companies with AI, hands-on, as a growth partner. Through Chief in AI Global and the AI Builders Network (now building), he's convening the community of people leading and building in the AI era. And as Managing Director of Chief in Tech Capital, he invests in AI-powered software across the future of work, fintech, and digital wellbeing: the investor who helps his founders grow, with deal flow sourced from the network. Underneath it all sits TechFamilyVentures, where he runs his own companies AI-native (agents, infrastructure, AI-first products), which is how he knows that what he hands to founders and companies works.

A Silicon Valley Founder Institute director and two-time Global Webit Audience Choice Award winner, Ivo works globally from the Bay Area.
