Vojta learned to code in high school during COVID, when he suddenly had a lot of free time. He took several online courses offered by prestigious universities, such as Harvard’s CS50, and within six months he joined his first IT company as a software developer. Over time he became fascinated by LLMs and neural networks, and while still in high school he started working as an AI researcher in Tomáš Mikolov’s group at CIIRC CTU. He then became the youngest product manager (at 20) at Henry Schein, a Fortune 500 company. Later he founded Ranketta, a platform that helps brands get found and recommended by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Walmart Sparky and Amazon Alexa, and makes their products directly purchasable there. Ranketta is the Startup of the Year 2026, and Vojta is now heading to San Francisco and further into the US.
