About me

My name is Ivan Delchev and I am a software engineer and entrepreneur living in Zürich, Switzerland, founder of 42matters exited to Similarweb in 2024 and creator of Hacker News Books sold in 2017.

Some of the things I’ve done in no particular order:

• Built, scaled up and exited 42matters AG with exceptional co-founders to Similarweb. A large chunk of Fortune 500 companies are a customer of 42matters.
• Served as VP of Engineering at 42matters, Director R&D for App Intelligence
• Built from scratch and then sold HackernewsBooks

Drop me a line, I will (likely) answer any non-spam message. If you are in Zurich, let’s grab a drink.
