CEO and Co-Founder at Synaps; Building “Figma” for Architectural Design
Topic: Through the lens of my own startup journey
Born and raised in Tirana, Albania, I embarked on a journey that led me to graduate from the Technical University of Vienna with a degree in Architecture. With a decade’s worth of experience in the real estate industry, I have worn multiple hats, starting as an architect before advancing into the role of an Investment Manager. In this capacity, I managed real estate developments worth over €50 million, focusing on investments across Europe, Africa, and Asia.
My career took a pivotal turn with the emergence of collaborative Tech. Recognizing its transformative potential, I co-founded Synaps, aiming to integrate this technology within the architectural design sector. In 2023, after raising an investment round, Synaps distinguished itself by building one of the fastest-growing waitlists in Europe, with over 3,800 users signing up. Positioned as a challenger to legacy competitors like Autodesk, Synaps represents a new era in architectural design, driven by AI, collaboration, and simplicity.
