Collboard
A shared online whiteboard for teaching, drawing, and collaboration, with extensible tools and educational templates.
H-edu

What people say
People I have worked with
Notes from projects, training, workshops, and longer collaborations.
I have known Pavol for six years, mostly through hackathons and other innovation projects. When Pavol entered with his team, you could bet on them finishing in the top three. They did. He understands new technology and quickly finds solutions for industry, education, and city development.
Tomáš Studeník
Startupper
Pavol built the prototype for our H-edu app, which helped us secure investment right away. He then designed the system architecture and picked technologies that have proved to be the right choices over time.
Jan Šedo
Founder of H-edu
Pavol builds digital products. I watched him create an integrated chatbot overnight. It won us first place at Startup Weekend in Prague. He can pick up a new topic or technology quickly and turn it into something that works.
Max Kozlov
Founder & CEO, Undout
Pavol connects digital technology with social issues. In the projects he worked on, he brought fresh ideas and approaches to education.
Bob Kartous
Vice-Rector at VŠEM and author
Pavol combines technical skill with public speaking and knows how to get new ideas off the ground. I am looking forward to our next project.
