As a venture capitalist and a former co-founder of a venture backed company, I help builders (funds/startups) get from 0 to 1: set up fundraising, prospecting, and go-to-market strategies. 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 startup advisor and 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, setting up fundraising and GTM strategies, crafting the pitch, and putting the decks together. 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.
