About
I've been working as a professional business tracker and startup advisor since 2019 — at the intersection of product development, innovation, and investment. I evaluate ideas through the lens of unit economics, value, scalability, and implementation feasibility.
I've been a tracker, senior tracker, expert, and speaker at 30+ accelerator programs — including Sberbank, FRII, Google for Startups, and Draper University in Silicon Valley. As a corporate tracker I've worked with VkusVill and Sravni.ru, and organized internal accelerators from scratch.
Before advisory, I was CEO of a company with ₽2B+ in annual revenue. That operational experience shapes how I work with founders: I understand what it means to build, not just advise.
