As you’ve probably heard, I’ve left my job as a community manager and UX expert at Zemanta. It has been an incredible ride these two years and I can say that I’m now fully sold at the idea of startup business lifestyle.
Last three months in San Francisco were a great finish of this adventure, giving me time to think and reflect on how I want to expand my professional career. I realized that lately I wasn’t doing much of the things I love most: product development in every form – from designing, user experience, coding and of course interacting with users once we can get it to them.
With this in mind, the decision was simple. It’s time to find the next startup that I can help or found a new one, using some of the prototypes and ideas that are floating around.
I don’t have any concrete plans as of yet, as I plan to first help some friends with their projects and clean my backlog of things that I volunteered for and never got a chance to get around to. There will also be a lot of running as I prepare for my half-marathon.
If you have an interesting project, lets talk. I can’t wait to see to which city and continent the future will take me.
You sure make it sound exciting 🙂 Chris and I would love to buy you a coffee next time you’re in London.
I wish my Taskerrific had some funding so I could entice you to check out Canada.
Good luck!
We will miss you – a lot. Do tell us when you are next in London.
Good luck 🙂
Good luck:-)
Good luck Jure – all the best
Marc
All the best in the next venture.
Come join us, we re hiring 🙂
Jure, lots of luck with your future endeavours!
It was great working with you!
Andraz Tori, Zemanta
Good to see the creator in you wasn’t that easy to tame 🙂
Happy running! and if you’re ever in A’dam again: coffee + ideas are on me!
Please get in contact with me about some exciting research projects looking for start-up energy
So, what are you planning to do now? Stay in the US or so? Also, a bit off-topic, could you tell me a bit more about the machine in the picture above? It looks mighty interesting.
Best regards

Actually I’m back in Slovenia. I’m working on a couple of personal projects while contributing to different open source and volunteer organizations. The plan is to learn even more new things during this period, while I’m looking for next “commercial” project.
Jure, why you have left Zemanta? You sold company (or your part) or boss fired you 🙂 or…?
It was time to move on 🙂
