BAS Specials #003 | From Berlin Architect to Silicon Valley Stage: Marko Lazić’s Startup Journey

🎙️ BAS Specials - From Berlin Architect to Silicon Valley Stage: Marko Lazić’s Startup Journey🚀 Welcome to this episode of BAS Specials, a special series within Startup Revolution, created in collaboration with Fondacija 787, the organizers of BAS – Business Angel Summit 2025. This episode was recorded on-site at the BAS Conference, capturing the energy, ambition, and honest founder conversations happening at one of the region’s most important startup and investment gatherings. In this episode, we sit down with Marko Lazić, founder of Luccid Software, who shares his remarkable journey of reinventing his career-from working as an architect in Berlin to pitching his startup on a Silicon Valley stage. Marko speaks openly about what pushed him to leave a stable professional path, the uncertainty of starting from scratch, and the realities of building a tech company without a traditional startup background. We dive into his experience of raising investment, making difficult funding decisions, prioritizing product-market fit, and navigating accelerators, grants, and investor conversations along the way. Marko also reflects on the lessons learned from rejection, persistence, and staying focused on long-term vision while growing a startup in a highly competitive global ecosystem. This episode is a must-listen for early-stage founders, career switchers, and anyone curious about what it truly takes to turn a bold decision into a scalable venture-without shortcuts or overnight success stories. 🙏 Huge thanks to Fondacija 787 and the entire BAS team for making this special series possible. 💼 This podcast is proudly supported by ProCredit Bank, our annual partner, whose Startup Package is designed to support the financial needs of ambitious and growing businesses across the region. 🚀 Startup Revolution is produced by Startup Club Skopje, North Macedonia’s first central entrepreneurial hub.
