Ever had that sinking feeling something's wrong with your boat? This week, we're trading land for water as we chat with Matija Jasarov, Co-founder and CEO of VisionAnchor, who turned a frightening personal experience into a game-changing solution for maritime safety.

In this episode, you'll hear how a successful music and video producer pivoted to maritime tech after his anchored boat drifted perilously close to shore during what should have been a relaxing swim. Learn how this wake-up call led Matija and his co-founders to develop a smart anchoring system that's making waves in the boating industry.

We dive deep into:

• The dramatic origin story of VisionAnchor
• How their smart anchor monitoring system works
• The challenges of building hardware startups
• Slovenia's emerging startup ecosystem
• The unexpected environmental impact of proper anchoring
• Key lessons for entrepreneurs navigating uncharted waters

Whether you're a boating enthusiast, tech founder, or simply love a good startup story, this conversation about innovation, perseverance, and making our waters safer is one you won't want to miss.
