When Open Core Ventures (founded by GitLab’s Sid Sijbrandij) reached out to Zbynek, the timing
aligned. He didn’t want to leave KEDA behind. He wanted to extend its impact.
He partnered with Jeff Fernandez, a SaaS founder with deep go-to-market experience. Together, they launched Kedify:
a commercial autoscaling platform built to enhance KEDA for production teams.
Zbynek led product and engineering. Jeff led customer development and growth. Their partnership turned infrastructure insight into enterprise
execution.
