About Lanapsoft
Mission
"Today, Lanapsoft’s mission is to provide the best CAPTCHA software accompanied by the best customer support service on the market"– Mr. Marijan Plestina, Lanapsoft CEO
In the very beginning, Lanapsoft was formed around one simple idea – to build the first commercially available ASP & ASP.NET CAPTCHA software on the market. Following a period of frantic development, we succeeded.
Being the first is always great, but as numerous software vendors before us have discovered - being the only game in town doesn't last long. Accordingly, our mission evolved into having the easiest to use, most customizable and feature-rich CAPTCHA software available. In short, to be the best. And somehow, we succeeded with that one, too.
Today, the CAPTCHA market is slowly evolving from an early market (of technology enthusiasts and early adopters) towards maturity (more conservative mainstream buyers). The latter requires far better customer support, and sometimes even a fair measure of hand-holding. Thus our mission has evolved once again – we now aim to provide the best CAPTCHA software accompanied by the best customer support service on the market.
The jury is still out there on that one. However, according to the growth of our BotDetect CAPTCHA customer reference list, it would seem we are succeeding in this as well :)

Team
Marijan Plestina, CEO

Marijan's experience extends from frying hamburgers in a nearby McDonalds (that financed a good part of his student days) – to years of C++ coding, first at UltiTech / OmegaSoftware, and later again at Polar. Lanapsoft is the first company that he founded, and so far it seems to be faring quite well :)
Matej Saric, CTO
Previous Employments:
Matej financed his student days through software development; first at Polar and later here in Lanapsoft. He was Lanapsoft's first full-time developer. Following Lanapsoft's growth, and after getting his engineering degree, Matej joined the executive team in his present position.
Lukrecio Mioc, VP PR & Marketing
Previous Employments:
After 19 years of career in different roles at various (mostly technology) startups, it would be unwise to expect that Lukrecio join anything less than – another startup – although this one has a reference list that is somewhat too fat for his liking :)
