My name is Marin Smiljanic and I’m the Co-Founder and CEO of Omnisearch, where we’re building the next generation of search technology.
Omnisearch’s software is the only one in the market capable of finding information inside any type of content – from audio and video to documents, presentations, images, and basically anything else you can think of.
How I Started
I’m originally from Croatia, where I grew up and attended school all the way through college. In high school I discovered my passion for math and programming, achieving plenty of success in programming competitions.
It all snowballed from there, as I got an internship at Facebook and then a Silicon Valley startup called SingleStore. I then joined Amazon, where I stayed for about three years, and I worked as a software engineer on Amazon Web Services, the world’s leading cloud provider, and on Alexa, the intelligent voice assistant.
It was there that I got a taste of the problem that would eventually lead to Omnisearch. As you’d expect in a company of such size and complexity, we had a ton of video training materials and recorded lectures, densely packed with elaborate technical content.
I often found myself trying to refer back to those materials and find the information I was looking for. But there was no effective way to find exact parts of the videos where it was covered, so I’d waste a lot of time unnecessarily. I figured that this should be solved in a general way and offered to companies as a SaaS product.
The Founding Team Matters
Every startup needs a great founding team, and Omnisearch was no exception. My co-founder Matej Ferencevic and I had known each other for over ten years, starting from our days participating in programming competitions.
He also had startup experience, being one of the earliest employees at Memgraph, a successful venture-backed startup in the database space. Matej and I had been brainstorming ideas for a while and we settled on this as by far the most promising one. Matej took on the role of CTO while I became CEO.
