Born in Czechoslovakia, Europe, and educated in Germany and Spain, David Semerad eventually found the ideal entrepreneurial environment in California.
At 17, he founded STRV, a software design and engineering company that expanded internationally and grew to 200 employees. David also dedicated three years to the non-profit sector, focusing on meaningful social change.

Personal experiences with burnout while serving as CEO taught him that sometimes slowing down is necessary to speed up. This insight led to the establishment of MINDZERO in late 2021, with a vision to make mindfulness more accessible and enjoyable.

David's mission is empowering the largest well-being impact of this century, supported by science and community.
