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.
Book me on
Three lanes, each with real operating material behind it.
How companies actually scale with AI
A de-hyped, concrete playbook for growing on throughput instead of headcount, from an investor-operator who runs his own companies on agents (~400 tools). Growth first, receipts attached: real examples, not predictions.
The investor who helps you grow
A value-add investor's view on where value accrues in the agentic era, how to tell a real AI company from a repackaged one, and why capital without growth capability is the smallest thing an investor brings.
Who builds AI, and why it matters
The future of work and a wider builder base, bridging the Chief in Tech (Wiley) book into the AI era.
Three signature talking points
Each one comes with receipts, not predictions.
AI is a growth lever, not a tech project.
25 years growing companies: three exits, a €640B EU investment platform, a 150,000+ member network co-built with Anna Radulovski. AI is the biggest lever yet. What scaling with it actually looks like, workflow by workflow.
My companies run on agents. That's how I know it works.
The receipt, not the story: ~400 agent tools, a self-built autonomous agent, human gates on the 5% that matters (production AI use since 2020, agent infrastructure built 2024+). The same system he uses to grow client companies via Humenta.
The moat was never the model.
Where durable value accrues (workflow, data, distribution) and why the best model rarely wins. Always lands on: so here is what actually helps you grow.
Suggested questions
Host prep, done. Ask any of these and the conversation runs itself.
- You've spent 25 years helping companies grow. Why do you call AI the biggest growth lever you've seen?
- What does a company that scales with AI actually do differently on an ordinary day?
- Where do most companies go wrong when they adopt AI?
- As an investor, how do you tell a real AI company from a repackaged one?
- What's the one workflow every business should hand to an agent first, and what should they never automate?
- You co-wrote a book on women in tech. How does that connect to who builds AI?
- What are you building right now that you're most excited about?
