Seymur RASULOV's Linkedin Analytics

Whelp and Olpay are the two innovative startups that I co-founded and currently lead as CEO, bringing cutting-edge conversational AI and facial recognition technologies to the customer journey and payment sectors. With my expertise in SaaS, fintech, and fundraising, I have secured over $1.5M in funding and established numerous global partnerships for both ventures. We also graduated from Techstars and Start Path, the prestigious fintech accelerator program by Mastercard. I have 15 years of experience in SaaS, with a focus on conversational AI, and over three years of experience in fintech, with a passion for creating products that enhance convenience and security for everyday consumers. As a startup mentor, I support aspiring founders with pitch decks, idea validation, and go-to-market strategies, sharing insights and guidance from my own entrepreneurial journey. I also have a strong background in cloud migration, having worked as a project manager team lead for Bespin Global, a leading cloud service provider in the Middle East and Africa. I hold a master's degree in Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and I speak four languages: English, Azerbaijani, Russian, and Turkish. My ultimate goal is to harness technology for meaningful impact and to inspire budding entrepreneurs.
