Founder @ Stealth AI |TechStars AI Startup Weekend SF

I'm an entrepreneur with experience in banking, investments, and tech. I've been both an investor and a founder. Passionate about tech, AI, physics, math, cosmology, and history, I hold a master's in international economics and management from Kyiv National Economics University. I believe accelerating AI is critical to humanity's prosperity.

As the founder of OpenBabylon, I’m building the post-training stack for real-world AI adaptation & sovereign AI models. I focus on making AI deployable, efficient, and aligned by driving strategic partnerships, revenue growth, and enterprise adoption. Our work enables enterprises and governments to optimize AI performance, cut costs, and scale deployment across diverse markets.

Previously, as CEO of Party.Space, a B2B virtual events platform, I navigated pivots and secured partnerships with Google, Zapier, Grammarly, UC Berkeley, and Fortune 500 companies, raising over $2M from top European VCs and angels.

I advise several early-stage companies on fundraising, zero-to-one hustle, and go-to-market strategies. My understanding of AI technologies and trends helps these companies shape and implement their strategies.

Known for my lively personality and ability to build connections, I enjoy mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs and sharing my experiences. My goal is to keep learning, explore new possibilities, and create a lasting impact through technology and innovation.

Saw a man eating soup at a Vietnamese market.

He didn't look up from his bowl once.

I thought: "This man understands focus."

Asked what he does. "GPUs," he said.

"Pho cures bubble hangovers," he added, unprompted.

Finished eating. Put chopsticks in leather jacket pocket. Didn't tip. Left.

His company is worth $4.4T.

3 lessons for startup founders:
→ Soup > Slack 
→ Street stalls > WeWork 
→ $3 meals, $65B quarters

While you were posting about Nvidia earnings, Jensen was already eating breakfast thinking about 2026.

That's the difference.

Okay everyone, please disregard my AI bubble posts from last week. We are so back!
/sarcasm off
For real though: Nvidia just reported $57B revenue. Beat by $2.4B. Q4 guidance: $65B.
Jensen: Blackwell sales "off the charts."
The bubble is real. The infrastructure is getting built. Both things are true.

Cheers to that, Mr. Huang🍸

Yeah you probably know me as the guy who started Party.Space from a cold email to Spotify.

Thought I had B2B sales figured out. Then I met  Alex Lugosch and Ilya Druzhnikov and they showed me what I was missing. The phone. 

We've done 15+ sessions together calling C-level execs at $100M+ mid-market and enterprise companies. 7am cold calls. Catching decision-makers before their calendar fills up.

The insights were pivotal for our new product direction at OpenBabylon. 

Hearing exactly why someone doesn't want your product -- in real time -- beats months of surveys and LinkedIn messages.

These guys are hosting a live cold-calling session tomorrow at European Startup Embassy (hidden gem of European culture in SF btw -  props to Luca Stirbat 🌀). They'll pitch founder products to real decision-makers while you watch.

If you want to learn how to actually talk to customers -- not send another email sequence -- this is it.

This post will make your AI founder friend wake up at night.

Especially if they didn't raise their sweet $50M seed round yet.

PitchBook just dropped 5 charts on the AI bubble debate. The numbers:
45% of fund managers say AI bubble is the biggest tail risk to markets. Up 12 points from last month.

For the first time since 2005, majority of investors say companies are overinvesting in capex.

$5 trillion required for AI infrastructure buildout. $1.4 trillion funding gap.

Hyperscaler CapEx tripled since end of 2023.

Late-stage AI valuations back to 2021 ZIRP-era levels.

Any fool makes money in a growing market. The real test is what you build for the falling one.

When the correction hits, CFOs will ask one question: "What's the ROI?"

Products that survive: 
→ Cost reduction (not growth acceleration) 
→ Decision-making under uncertainty 
→ Proving unit economics in 90 days 
→ Doing more with less compute

Products that don't: 
→ AI wrappers with no moat (except for AI GFs) 
→ "We'll figure out monetization later" 
→ Anything that needs 18 months to show value

At OpenBabylon, we're building AI for corporate strategy and decision-making. The kind of tool that becomes more valuable when markets get uncertain -- not less.

The bubble will pop. The infrastructure will remain. The question is whether your product is infrastructure or foam.
