Anna Ratala

I am a business leader and tech enthusiast, a bold entrepreneur not afraid of challenges but inspired by them.

I am currently building a venture-backed startup, Zvook.co. Zvook is the first intelligent platform matching brands with podcasts for scaling host-read ads - in a few clicks.

At Zvook, we believe you are what you listen to. Our AI-driven platform gathers audio intelligence on podcasts and matches brands with a highly engaged target audience based on the content they listen to. Our vision is to be the leading player in audio intelligence and monetization.

As the co-founder and CEO, I'm responsible for driving the business and the vision for our startup. Zvook is a portfolio company of the startup generator and early-stage VC Antler.

Previously, as the Founder and Head of Slush Singapore, a leading tech startup event and a global movement, I channeled my passion for startups into helping the next generation of entrepreneurs forward. In 2018, for the third year in a row, Slush Singapore gathered nearly 3,000 international attendees to an event built from the ground up with 200 volunteers and 80 community partners.

Also a big lover of travel, sports and meeting new people. My mantra? Get up. Smile. Chase dreams. Repeat.
