About

I'm Max Mucko, an entrepreneur based in Zagreb, Croatia. I build things that interest me - and I build them for Croatia.

My day job is Chief of Staff at Mercuryo, a global crypto payments company.

Everything else I do runs through Bimbo Capital, a venture builder. Each venture has a co-founder and runs semi-autonomously - I handle strategy, product, and AI tooling across the portfolio.

Before starting my own ventures, I spent 7+ years in venture capital and digital assets - deploying over EUR 40M across early-stage funds including BlackDragon and Iconium. I structured deals, managed portfolios, and helped projects raise capital. Before that, I worked at EY Advisory on financial regulation.

When I'm not building, you'll find me hiking, reading, or overthinking something I should just ship. Based in Zagreb.

Values

Slow thinking, fast execution

Take time to think deeply. When you've decided, move fast.

Build in public

Share the process, not just the outcome. Transparency builds trust.

Health is wealth

Optimizing health isn't vanity. It's the foundation everything else is built on.

AI as leverage

Use AI as a thinking partner and force multiplier, not a replacement for judgment.
