Experienced entrepreneur, co-founder and product manager of the Slovenian unicorn Outfit7, with a wealth of experience in the games, entertainment and advertising industries.

Rok Zorko is a director of Ninaz Limited since 2018, where he manages various investments in shared, bonds, real estate and funds. 

 

He studied Latin and Literature and got one of his first jobs at NoviForum. He then took up a position as editor at the Slovenian search engine Najdi.si, whose founder was Samo Login. A small group of five people was formed to work exclusively on it. Najdi.si went up for sale and in 2006 the majority was sold. Samo was a minority owner and got enough money to start a new company. He invited six former employees, including Rok, the only non-programmer. They became Outfit7, under which they developed a talking cat called Talking Tom. 

 

He is currently a partner at Silicon Gardens Fund, where he was an investor and advisor between 2019 and 2022. 

 

In the last three years, he has also mentored the startup Bird Buddy, which was named Sloveian Startup of the Year 2021. He has also mentored Blub Blub, a successful speech therapy app for children; Beeping, a clearning services platform; 1o, an eCommerce startup; and Wise Up / Razturi na maturi

 

Today, Rok is known as the co-founder and product manager of Outfit7, the first Slovenian unicorn. He has also been listed as one of the richest Slovenians.
