Szabolcs Pasztor

I founded Basis Labs, a development and advisory firm that built mission-critical products for startups. Select projects include a novel real-estate pricing algorithm used to price ~6,000 properties across North America and a private social network for scientists, researchers, and public intellectuals.

Previously, I was an early co-founder at Dakai and lead the development of an internal management platform at Spotify that assisted the company’s entry into podcasts. See my full bio here.

I’m on an off-grid sabbatical leave starting April 2025. If you’d like to reach me during this period, please contact someone I know for an intro.
