CXO & Founder · Entrepreneur · Budapest
I'm Csaba Zoltán Moldován — founder of Moldován Csaba Kft. I turn ideas into shipped products and help founders make their product done: from discovery to a live, data-driven platform. Product leader, builder, and venture partner.
HRBEST 2019 Gold — Product of the Year in HR
About
For over a decade I've worked at the intersection of product, agile delivery and entrepreneurship — running discovery, defining scope, shaping design, and staying hands-on through development, launch and the data that follows. As CXO & founder of Moldován Csaba Kft, I've helped raise over €5M for early-stage startups and supported countless strategic pivots.
I co-founded the amanoba education initiative and serve as a venture partner (Hiventures, Axelerion) — judging startup competitions from Budapest to GITEX Africa. Today I build a portfolio of products under the narimato / DoneIsBetter banner — from AI assistants and SSO infrastructure to sports analytics and learning platforms.
The Method
Every engagement runs through one repeatable framework — so nothing falls through the cracks between strategy and shipping.
Understand the problem, users and market. Validate the real need before a line of code.
Align stakeholders on goals, constraints and success metrics.
Turn intent into a sharp scope, roadmap and prioritised backlog.
Shape the experience — flows, interface and architecture.
Build in tight iterations with working software every step.
Ship to production, instrument it, and get it into real hands.
Measure behaviour and outcomes — let evidence steer decisions.
Iterate, grow and pivot. Keep momentum until it compounds.
Timeline
Personal milestones, company chapters, speaking appearances and what collaborators said — all in one thread.
