Hey, I’m Luka.

Co-founder at Flowout.

Back in 2014, I began my journey as a self-taught digital product designer. Over eight years, I've had the opportunity to design interfaces for companies like Flexport, Intel, and Daimler.

Throughout my career I was always interested to explore side projects and the idea of building my own thing. Although many of these projects didn't succeed, each one taught me valuable lessons about starting and managing a profitable business.

Currently, I'm building a portfolio of bootstrapped ventures with Žiga and Sergej, focusing on marketing and growth.

Our first business, Flowout, launched in 2021, was the first productized service in the Webflow space. It rapidly expanded from a team of four to over 30 members, hitting seven figures in revenue within just 18 months. Today, we collaborate with leading global companies such as Kajabi, Adobe, and Sequoia Capital.

Following Flowout, we introduced Storehelper, a productized service dedicated to ecommerce development, now serving clients including BirdBuddy and Monster Audio.

In addition to our service-based ventures, we also create our own software products. So far, we've built three profitable products: Linguana, Vidzflow, and Optibase.

When I'm not working, I enjoy long walks with my dog Pablo, watching NBA, and traveling - I’ve visited over 30 countries.

I share insights on bootstrapping, design, marketing, and growth on LinkedIn and Twitter. If you're interested in following my journey, give me a follow.
