About Us
A collaboration of founders brought together by StartSchool in Riga, Latvia.
The Origin
The RootCode.Guide was created by Inga Priedīte, Markuss Brieze and Rihards Liepa, who met in 2025 while studying technologies and startup business at StartSchool in Riga, Latvia. The program is built around developing real startup projects, and the RootCode.Guide emerged directly from this shared process of learning, experimenting, and building together. As the project evolved, Edmunds Priede joined the team as CTO, strengthening its technical foundation.
The original idea came from Inga, a long-time Gene Keys practitioner and Gene Keys Guide. As the idea evolved, the team came together organically. Along the way, an unexpected synchronicity emerged: all founders independently practice Qigong.
Inga Priedīte is the conceptual lead behind the RootCode.Guide, combining a structured corporate background with long-term inner practices. The I Ching has been a quiet presence in her life since her teenage years, first encountered as a book that left a strong impression and a sense of fascination beyond intellectual understanding. She has practiced Qigong since 2004 and has been a Level 1 Zhong Yuan Qigong instructor since 2006, alongside studies in Vedic astrology and early immersion in Human Design. Her engagement with Human Design and Gene Keys unfolded over time, with Gene Keys becoming a later main focus in her ongoing self-inquiry. Her work is oriented toward clarity and grounded exploration.
Markuss Brieze brings a creative and spatial perspective to the project, with a background in architecture, graphic design, videography, photography, and marketing. His work shapes the visual identity of the Root Code Wheel, keeping it clear, coherent, and visually grounded.
Rihards Liepa contributes an open-minded and exploratory mindset. He enjoys trying out new things and is drawn to movement and hands-on experience. What he loves most is cycling, hiking, and cooking, alongside a growing interest in health science and technology. This curiosity and grounded practicality inform his approach to both development and collaboration.
Edmunds Priede brings more than three decades of technical experience, with a career in software and digital systems that began in 1991. Based in Latvia, he has worked with companies across industries including e-commerce, logistics, and other technology-driven businesses.His focus is on building reliable technical infrastructure and practical digital solutions. At RootCode.Guide, he helps turn complex ideas into stable and functional technology.
The intention behind the RootCode.Guide is to make the world a little better by creating thoughtful, well-made products that bring real value. We enjoy working on this project together and creating what we genuinely care about.
