Coliving Pioneer & Community Builder

Matthias is the visionary behind Coliving Semkovo, a bold project to transform a vast 17,000m² communist-era hotel in the Bulgarian mountains into one of the world’s largest coliving spaces. Set amidst serene nature, it’s becoming a flagship destination for the future of remote work and intentional communities.

He is best known for putting Bansko, Bulgaria on the map for digital nomads. As the founder of Coworking Bansko and Bansko Nomad Fest, Matthias catalyzed the town’s rise as a global hotspot for location-independent professionals.

A serial community builder and sought-after speaker, Matthias is deeply engaged in the global tech, coworking, and startup scenes. His projects have been featured in international media, and his work will soon be highlighted in a upcoming cinematic documentary chronicling the beginnings of Semkovo.

Matthias holds an MBA from Santa Clara University and an engineering degree from the Polytechnical University of Salzburg. With an unmatched talent for hosting impactful gatherings and connecting inspiring people, he continues to shape the future of nomadism—one epic project at a time.

Now, he’s eyeing his next challenge: a stunning 8000m² real estate opportunity at smallestvillage.com, blending nature, community, and purpose just an hour outside of Sofia.
