Our next guest is one of the few engineers to have walked on the red carpet in Hollywood.

Peter Mitev is the co-founder of the software company Chaos. And owner of Oscar and Emmy awards for technological achievements.

The company offers technology for rendering and 3D visualizations known worldwide. It has applications in design, architecture and entertainment among others.

In the beginning of 2022 Chaos announced a merger with the German Enscape to begin the next chapter of their global expansion.

In his conversation with Irina, Peter Mitev reflects on his entrepreneurial journey. A drop-out from university, he started his first venture out of his fascination with computer graphics. In the late 90s, Bulgaria was in a dire economic crisis, there was no capital available, and Peter had no business knowledge himself. Together with his partner Vladimir Koylazov, they managed to build a software company with a rich portfolio of products that are now used worldwide. “We have been building Chaos for 24 years. As we joke with Vlado, our CVs are very boring and very short”, Peter Mitev says.
