Building things that shouldn't work but do.

Zilliun is Philip Hilm's company and the home of Witnis and Blomsterbox. The name means a zillion possibilities, and also "silly one" — because taking on the impossible should be fun.

Poker pro turned

I've spent my life chasing hard problems. I started coding on a Commodore 64, played professional poker for almost a decade (including the 2007 WSOP Main Event final table as chip leader), then built a Nash equilibrium solver for extensive-form games because the math fascinated me more than the cards.

That led to AI research at GoodAI in Prague, a TEDx talk, algorithmic trading in crypto, developer advocacy at ChromaWay, and now — building physical products and platforms that connect the digital and real worlds.

The thread? Moving the state of the art. Doing what seems impossible until it isn't. And not taking myself too seriously along the way.

What I'm building now.

Witnis
CEO & Co-founder

A Verifiable Intelligence platform for public-sector and regulated organizations. Witnis lets organizations cryptographically sign their communications so anyone can verify authenticity. Paste something you found online, and Witnis tells you whether the organization actually published it — using hash comparison and semantic search. Provenance, not fact-checking. Region Stockholm is our first pilot client.

Blomsterbox
Co-founder

A network of premium, IoT-connected flower vending machines across Sweden. These aren't repurposed fridges — they're purpose-built, climate-controlled machines with app integration and locked compartments. The model connects independent florists to the machine network: florists stock and price their products, Blomsterbox provides the platform and distribution. First machine live at Åkersberga Centrum, with expansion underway across Stockholm.

Let's talk.

Whether it's about Witnis, Blomsterbox, a collaboration, or something I haven't thought of yet — I'd love to hear from you.

"Zilli un" — the silly one.
Serious about the work,
never about myself.
