In today’s fast-paced digital world, success is often gauged by how well one can navigate technology, data, and human connection. Andrej Krchnavý, founder of the innovative agency Dataswans and director of the non-profit initiative Jobifinder, is actively working at this intersection — and beyond. With a presence in both the business and humanitarian sectors, Andrej is showing that entrepreneurship and social responsibility can coexist and complement each other.
Through Dataswans, a forward-thinking digital agency focused on data tools, automation, and accredited education, Andrej has gained recognition among corporates, startups, and individual entrepreneurs. His proprietary scraping tools assist companies in uncovering valuable insights and leads, while his accredited online academy — acknowledged by the Slovak Ministry of Education — provides individuals with practical digital skills in marketing, automation, and online business strategy.
But Andrej’s efforts extend beyond just innovation. As director of Jobifinder, a civic association supporting individuals from developing countries, he is making an impact on the ground. The initiative assists migrants and newcomers from less-developed nations in integrating into Slovak society by offering education, guidance, and pathways to meaningful employment opportunities. Through Jobifinder, many individuals have found not just jobs but a renewed sense of purpose and belonging.
From Digital Tools to Human Transformation
What distinguishes Andrej is not only his ability to create software or consult startups. It’s the purpose behind everything he undertakes. He believes that modern business should prioritize people. His work with Dataswans is closely connected with his mission at Jobifinder: both focus on creating access, whether that’s access to data, opportunities, or a brighter future.
His digital agency collaborates with clients across Europe and beyond, including several corporate partners who initially approached him for data tools but chose to stay due to the broader strategic perspective he offers. Startups come to him not only for growth strategies but also for a clearer vision. Through Dataswans’ internal academy, founders, marketers, and freelancers gain the tools to confidently navigate today’s digital landscape with clarity, structure, and resilience.
Andrej’s clients often describe him as a thoughtful strategist, a builder with integrity, and someone who isn’t afraid to challenge traditional methods. Many come seeking results and leave with an expanded perspective. His approach seamlessly integrates technology with a deep understanding of human needs, making him a unique blend of strategist, educator, and social entrepreneur.
A Journey Fueled by Purpose
Andrej’s own journey is one of alignment, not avoidance. He didn’t come from a background of wealth, nor did he follow a predetermined corporate path. Instead, he built everything from the ground up — coding, teaching, consulting, and launching projects that serve both business and society. While many in the digital world prioritize short-term profits, Andrej has consistently focused on sustainability and long-term value.
He takes particular pride in creating tools that help others thrive: scraping systems that generate leads for B2B companies, databases that support online business models, and digital courses that equip individuals with the skills needed to become self-employed or launch their own projects. But perhaps most meaningful to him is his work with Jobifinder — offering real education and meaningful employment opportunities to individuals who might otherwise be overlooked.
The Road Ahead for Dataswans and Jobifinder
Looking ahead, Andrej is focused on expanding the impact of both his agency and nonprofit. With an increasing number of partnerships and growing interest from international markets, Dataswans is gradually evolving into a comprehensive digital ecosystem, offering consulting, automation, education, and ready-made tools for entrepreneurs. Simultaneously, Jobifinder is expanding its reach, launching new community initiatives, and preparing to introduce a multilingual job-matching platform designed specifically for migrants in Europe.
Andrej’s vision for the long term? To bridge the gap between those who have access to tools and those who would benefit most from them. He envisions a future where impact and income align — where businesses thrive not just by increasing their sales, but by serving their communities in meaningful ways.
While Andrej is presently concentrating on his ongoing projects and is not taking on one-on-one clients, he continues to share valuable insights and behind-the-scenes lessons from his journey on social media. His message to aspiring entrepreneurs and changemakers is simple: Don’t just build to generate profit. Built to make a difference.
