Prepia

We recently talked to Viktor Pešić, founder of Prepia, and discussed what it means to be intentional about what you’re building and why you choose to spend years of your life creating it. Entrepreneurship was never a question for Viktor. What changed over time was the kind of problem he wanted to commit to. After building multiple businesses, his focus shifted toward problems with real depth and lasting impact. That led him to a simple but painful observation - talented people often miss out on life-changing opportunities not because they lack intelligence or effort, but because they lack structured preparation and feedback. That insight became Prepia. A platform designed to help people prepare for high-stakes exams with personalized practice, clear feedback, and a sense of progress. Viktor is deeply motivated by closing the gap between potential and performance, especially in moments that can shape someone’s future. What excites him most is seeing real proof that his solution matters. Reading reviews and messages from users who passed exams or landed their dream jobs using Prepia is what makes the hard days worth it. His long-term ambition is clear. He wants to make Prepia the default place people go to when an important exam is coming up. Seeing Viktor’s enthusiasm and being at the front row of his progress makes us strong believers in Prepia’s mission. If you haven’t tried it out yet, this is your chance to do so!

2026 according to Silicon Gardens – Trend Forecast 💡 As investors, we have a front-row seat to what founders are building. We see recurring patterns early, long before they show up in headlines. Here are three things we believe will win in 2026, and that some of our portfolio companies have already caught up on. 1️⃣ Workflow ownership beat add-on features In 2026, the strongest companies won’t be the ones that offer AI features the fastest. They’ll be the ones that offer tools that own a real workflow end-to-end. It’s no longer about having a nice tool on the side. It’s about becoming part of the operating layer. The winning products will be the ones that are hard to remove because they sit inside daily execution, not on top of it. PORTFOLIO SIGNALS 🟢 EVE turns an SMB inbox into a self-updating sales pipeline. Their solution is about workflow ownership, not analytics. 🟢 ClozerAI lives inside th e sales call, supporting scripts, objections, and responses in real time and becomes an indispensable tool. 🟢 HotelSync acts as an operational backbone for property management and bookings, sitting directly inside daily execution. 2️⃣ The shift from experimental AI to practical AI We’re seeing growing demand for products that take fragmented signals and translate them into action-ready clarity. AI has moved from collecting data into resolving fragmentation caused by multiple sources, inconsistent formats, missing context, and noisy inputs. PORTFOLIO SIGNALS 🟢 Arkensight unifies drones, satellites, ground cameras, and vehicle feeds into a single intelligence layer for infrastructure decisions. 🟢 InsiderCX captures and interprets customer feedback, turning scattered sentiment into a structured improvement loop. 🟢 REALTRACING centralizes construction site and stakeholder data so sales teams can act on what’s actually happening on the ground. 3️⃣ Personalization moves from “nice to have” to retention engine Personalization is shifting from cosmetic customization to a core driver of retention. When people see progress that matches their exact needs, they stay. PORTFOLIO SIGNALS 🟢 Prepia personalizes certification exam preparation through interactive learning and structured progression. 🟢 Bible Chat creates a personalized journey through Bible study and discussion, adapting content to individual exploration and reflection. 🟢 Ohana personalizes digital parenting by adapting screen time, safety, and routines to each family, helping healthy habits last. Excited to see what founders are up to next! 🚀
