Architect of Startup Culture: The Story of a 4x Founder & McKinsey Venture Expert
Tomáš is a seasoned entrepreneur and operator, with four startups under his belt and two successful exits. He served as CEO and Co‑Founder of HotelQuickly, scaling it across 15+ markets in APAC, raising $15 M, and driving revenues past $100 M with a 120+ person team before a private-equity-backed acquisition.
After exiting, Tomáš joined Leap by McKinsey as an associate partner, leading digital venture builds—like launching Makro PRO, a B2B supply-chain platform in Thailand that hit a 4.75‑star app rating and tens of thousands of daily orders within months.
Today, he co-leads SEA Founders, a community for growth-stage tech CEOs in Southeast Asia, and continues advising startups, investing selectively, and hosting The Venture podcast, where he deep-dives into scaling tech-enabled businesses in complex markets.
Tomáš brings hands-on expertise in early-stage scaling, product-market fit, remote team leadership, and navigating acquisitions—making him a go-to mentor for founders building real-world, growth-focused ventures.
