Laura Mlakar is one of those young entrepreneurs who grew up in an entrepreneurial environment, which is why she has carried an entrepreneurial drive within her since childhood. Her studies at the Faculty of Economics further encouraged her to put theoretical knowledge into practice as soon as possible. Already during her studies, she and a friend began building their first entrepreneurial story, and today they run a successful vertical video content agency, Createable, employing a ten-member team and collaborating with numerous companies.

Her view on entrepreneurship is clear: opportunities only arise when we dare to take the first step, explore new paths, and build relationships – both with people and with users.
