Petr Štěpánek

As a CTO and co-founder of Macromo, I led bioinformaticians and developers in building an AI to integrate blood tests, wearables, and DNA data to help you add 10 years to your active lifespan.

Previously, I founded Next Zone, a hardware startup accelerator in Prague, which supports hundreds of young founders and students, providing them with mentoring and professional equipment.

My journey began in high school with the co-founding of an electric skateboard startup. Starting in a garage, we scaled to serve customers across Europe, during which I lived in Shenzhen to build our supply chain and prototype faster. Additionally, I co-founded Undout, a startup aimed at improving sleep habits with an innovative alarm clock that we brought to the market through crowdfunding.
