I almost lost everything this year.

Not “stressed about deadlines” losing everything.

My dad. My family. Everything I’ve been building.

There were nights I genuinely didn’t know if RAVN would survive the month.

But my cofounder and I kept building anyway. Through the doubt, uncertainty, and nights when nothing seemed to work.

Today, I’m incredibly grateful to share that RAVN has been accepted into Antler.

$400K in funding, backed by one of the world’s leading venture builders, alongside companies like Lovable, Airalo, Reebelo, and Tactiq.

To everyone who watched us build this from the beginning, thank you. This wasn’t luck or a guarantee. We kept building long before there was anything to celebrate.

Most importantly, I’m grateful to God. He never left us.

We’ve come a long way.

We’re just getting started.

Sixth judge :- Robel Mezemir

Also known by his brand Robi Makes Stuff

Robel is a very talented developer , who has worked with multiple international companies and made a significant impact on the teams he has been part of. He is exceptional when it comes to design and creating unique user interfaces. In fact, he has developed his own design psychology, to the point where you can instantly look at a product and say, “This was made by Robi.”

He has also helped a lot of developers improve their UI skills through his design video, Bespoke UI, where he breaks down the principles behind good interface design and how to actually think about building better products.

Robel is the creator and indie maker behind Odit and Links. He previously worked at IDs.Company and Better Auth, and is currently working at AY Automate.


He has also built SMA and several other products and experiments along the way.


If you want to impress Robi with your project, don't come with the usual AI slop. Pay attention to your UI, usability, details, and the overall experience. Follow his design principles and guides, and you'll already be making your project better.

With his experience across development, product design, and building real products, Robel is going to be a great judge for looking at the technical side of your projects while also challenging your UI, usability, and product decisions.

It's an honor to have Robel Mezemir as a judge for the official STARK Hackathon.
