Summary
Vlad Stan is a serial founder and builder with 10 years of entrepreneurial technology experience based in Spain, currently leading ZeroCrew as Captain—an experimental portfolio that builds companies with zero employees using partnerships and AI agents. He previously founded Kubrio to empower children as high-agency learners with AI and has launched multiple startups and early-stage funds focused on tooling and startup enablement. Vlad blends product-led strategy with hands-on company creation, repeatedly shipping new business models from idea to market across education, developer tools, and startup services. He favors lean, automation-first approaches that substitute traditional teams with networks and intelligent systems, an approach he’s been refining since founding Vodanet in 2000. Not obvious from titles: his career spans both operator roles and investor-style accelerators, giving him a rare perspective on founding, tooling selection, and scalable go-to-market playbooks. Based in Spain, he combines practical startup grit with an experimental mindset toward AI-native organizations.
