Venture Partner | Startup Executive | Advisor

With experience as both a VC and co-founder of a venture-backed company, I help fund managers and founders go from 0 to 1. Over the past four years, I’ve hosted 200+ curated events for founders and investors, leading to raised capital, closed deals, and new partnerships. My focus has always been on crafting GTM strategies, driving fundraising, and building real connections that create results.

On the coaching side, I work closely with founders to unlock their potential—whether it’s through mindset shifts, sharpening their GTM approach, or navigating the ups and downs of fundraising. My clients have doubled revenue, raised rounds, and found clarity in the chaos of building. I love seeing people thrive.

Work experience:
- 4 years in corporate finance (As much as I did not enjoy "Vlookup" formulas and ACCA tests, I see that it pays off now)
- 3 years in enterprise sales (I enhanced very important skills: how to negotiate and close deals by making it a win-win for both sides)
- 1 year as a co-founder of a venture-backed company (I lost half of my hair, but learned a lot: led fundraising, sales, and product development strategies)
- 3 years in venture capital (Even if 2/20 is not that fun at a small fund, understanding the fundamentals of identifying the right deal flow, industry assessment, and becoming psychic at reading founders' patterns in a very short period of time is gold)
- 1 year as a Founding Partner of the investor and founder community in NYC. 
- 3 years as a startup advisor/founder coach and a venture partner. Sometimes, it takes you 12 years to start doing what you are passionate about and what you are really good at. In my case, it's connecting builders with VCs, VCs with LPs/Family offices, and setting up fundraising and GTM strategies. In a nutshell, helping businesses and people get from 0 to 1.

Fun facts (not sure how fun tho): 
- Born and raised in Siberia 
- State chess champion in Russia
- On a mission to give back and contribute to the community
