Interview by Paul Salfen
Co-founder & CEO
After being born in Czechoslovakia and studying in Germany and Spain, David Semerad found the ideal entrepreneurial environment in California.
At age of 17, David founded his software design and engineering company STRV. The company expanded internationally and grew to 200 employees, supporting Porsche, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Microsoft, and Tinder, to name a few. He is also the founder of Kindest, a company committed to reinventing the philanthropy domain.
Experiencing a personal burnout while holding a CEO position, David knows that sometimes to speed up you have to slow down and get your mind to zero.
