M.S. Matej Rus is the "head" of the team in this way or another. He poses challenges and expects solutions. He asks the questions and wants clear answers. Matej tells directly what he thinks and he thinks a lot and contemplates. Therefore, he is the generator of innovative ideas with a clear vision of what kind of ecosystem offers the best conditions for the breakthrough of ideas that solve the pains of entrepreneurial society.

Urban Lapajne is a startup enthusiast, evangelist and mentor. He acts as Programme Manager in Start:up Slovenia and at the PODIM Conference [19-20 May 2020]. There is no challenge that Lapajne would not have a solution to. He also finds them where there is none at first sight with a positive approach. His middle name could be the executor.

As an entrepreneurial evangelist, he is the driving force of Start:up Slovenia and the person who is "guilty" of the great programme and even better PODIM Conference speakers every year.
