Hey there, I’m Chip 😎
🇪🇺 Bucharest, Romania - right in the heart of Eastern Europe.
🛠️ Engineer-turned-entrepreneur & 3× founder.
🚀 In 2021 my AI startup was acquired by Algolia. From 2021-2025 I served as Head of Algolia R&D Romania and AI Principal Product Manager, building and launching AI features that generated millions in ARR alongside some of the brightest product and engineering minds out there.
🧑💻 Current role: Entrepreneur-in-Residence at underline.vc
⛰️ Reset button: escaping to nature (mountain-biking) and digging into a good philosophy book.
🤝 I love swapping ideas with fellow founders and mentoring first-timers. Let’s connect on LinkedIn!
📝 I write #microessays to distill my thoughts on entrepreneurship. Some may resonate with you, while others might challenge you. I don’t claim to have all (or even the right) answers and most of the time I have more questions. Perhaps those too can spark conversations we can all learn from.
