Team

Matka was born when Jerónimo and Miguel, two adventure-loving AI engineers, got fed up with the endless scrolling to find cool plans. They imagined an app that just gets you—serving up quirky, timely, and personalized suggestions that also inspire you to explore new horizons, all without the hassle.

Tamara, with her knack for intuitive design, makes sure the app feels like a breeze to use. And Luis? He’s the data wizard who ensures Matka always knows what’s happening around you.

Together, they help you turn free time into unforgettable plans..
