I'm Jelena - Serbian, freshly settled in Cascais, and very happy to be here.
My path has been a bit zigzag: ~7 years as a frontend developer, then a leap into yoga teacher training in India, contact improvisation, and somatic movement work. All of it pointed me toward what I'm building now.
What I'm building: Syncira, a cycle-aware daily guidance app for women. It blends my tech skills with my love for cycle awareness, somatics, and treating the female body as wisdom rather than a problem. Web MVP is live; mobile app is in progress.
What I'm exploring/struggling with: how to build and fundraise as a solo founder without losing the embodied, slow, intuitive way of working that actually makes me good at this. Also - the very real logistics of being a new resident in Portugal while doing all of the above.
Really looking forward to meeting all the wonderful women in this community. Hugs to all 🌿
