Mission
The internet was supposed to bring us together.It still can.
We are more connected online than any generation in history. And somehow, lonelier. We scroll for hours and feel nothing. The internet gave us the world. We ended up alone in our rooms.
A screen was never supposed to be the destination.It’s a door.
Blizo exists to make that door actually open onto real places, real nights, real people standing in the same room as you. Not followers. Friends.
We’re not another place to post. Not a dating app wearing a different mask. You come to go somewhere.
Use the internet the way it was always meant to be used. Not to replace real life, but to get you back to it.
How it started
- 2023
Max and Alex meet at The Lawrenceville School in the US, and study together for two years. Blizo starts as an idea in a class called Managing Technology and Strategic Innovation.
- 2026
The company begins to take shape. Max brings in Stelin, his longtime video editor, to lead marketing. Stelin then brings in Martin to lead engineering, a friend of over ten years.
- Since
The four build Blizo remotely, spread across three continents, part-time around school, for months. The app is beta tested through TestFlight, then approved and released on the App Store.
- 7 Aug 2026
The full team moves in together in Bulgaria to work on Blizo full-time.

The four
Over 100 people were interviewed while the app was being built. All four are cofounders and co-owners, building and registering the company together.
Max
CEOOriginated the idea. Built one of Bulgaria’s largest travel and education audiences on YouTube, now past 30,000 subscribers. Founded Budna Bulgaria, a community platform for ambitious young Bulgarians. Understands how people find experiences, and what actually makes them show up.
Alex
CPOCo-originated the idea. Obsessed with friction. Finds the half-second of hesitation in a flow and the tap that should not exist. The one who notices what everyone else walks past.
Stelin
CMOScaled multiple social accounts past 15 million organic views combined. Knows how to make something people finish watching rather than scroll past.
Martin
CTOSelf-taught engineer. Shipped multiple apps in under two years and built Blizo’s entire technical foundation himself. The reason the app on your phone exists at all.
