About This Podcast
Nerding Out With Viktor is a podcast about tech, startups, and everything in between. Hosted by Viktor, a lifelong nerd and seasoned entrepreneur, the show features real conversations with builders, hackers, and technologists.
Viktor got his start in Silicon Valley with YippieMove, an early email migration tool, and later created Blotter, a top-ranked productivity app for macOS. He now runs Screenly — the first developer-friendly digital signage platform — and built its open-source sibling, Anthias. He's also been leading remote teams for over a decade, long before it became the norm.
Each episode explores topics like AI, software, cybersecurity, hardware, and the messy reality of building and scaling products. With a no-fluff, straight-talking approach, Nerding Out With Viktor is perfect for anyone who enjoys smart, technical conversations without the hype.
