ENTREPRENEUR, ADVISOR, INVESTOR

I believe that the approach to life and business will be replaced from "consumer" to "conscious". By earning money, more and more people will strive to make the world a better and brighter place.

Everyone's goal is to feasibly accelerate these changes.

My team does this through pro-bono assistance to impact startups and charitable foundations: we help to improve their business skills, solve some tasks and involve professionals (our close friends) in this work. [join me]

Recruiting in NPO Children's Villages SOS

In March 2021, they asked for help in filling urgent vacancies. One thing led to another, and we now have a dedicated recruiter for NPOs. She helps colleagues to adapt our processes to themselves. In case of success, starting from 2022 Children's Villages will be able to budget the recruiter's rate in the state, and nicely fill the vacancies without our help.

Change CRM+BI in NPF Children's Villages SOS

Colleagues need to transfer their donor relations to the new software. Our friends will help Zhenya to choose a suitable vendor for their tasks and reduce the pain of moving.

Product approach in Sobirator

The guys learned very well how to make massive [and expensive] eco-projects for CSR (corporate social responsibilities) for large customers. Now they need to pack this experience into the boxed product line available for small businesses in any region of Russia and the CIS countries. Then it will have a truly large-scale impact on the environment.

Assistance at MSPP of Friends Foundation

For now we have made only grants at the School for Natasha Galechian, CEO of charity shops "Spasibo!", and Lena Martianova, CEO of "Vera" foundation, as well as the number of individual consultations.

In the new season, we will try to help adapting the program of School for NPO-startups [task with an asterisk].

Product approach and LMS for NPO Zhuravlik

Tried to help the girls to make out of schools' bullying pilots a ready boxed product, which schools all over the country could "unpack" on their own. And also save 3 million on developing its LMS by choosing and implementing a ready-made one [do not create a good one for 3 million and let alone support: this never worked, that's it]. But I was fired one nice day.

Programming for children from NPO We are together

This foundation tries to change the decision of mothers about abortion, if the reasons are financial problems. Automatically, the foundation becomes a trustee of low-income families. In times of pandemic, we provided 20 families with computers for distance learning. The foundation's volunteers delivered everything, installed and taught how to use it, and Igor's school teaches these children programming for free, thus breaking a circle of poverty in their families.

Promotion of a career at NPOs for Olympiads' prize-winner students

Over the past years, in the Third sector of Russia the opportunity has occurred in terms of building a really good career: not to sacrifice personal development for the benefit of society, but to get developed for the benefit of society. However, only few people know about this.

Together with Dasha and leading NPOs we decided to change this for the best students in the country.

Friends, we need help! Teacher for Russia, Children's villages SOS, Sobirator, Second wind, and Greenpeace are already involved. If you have a really cool career track and are ready to start with an internship - join asap!

Recruiting for the program "Teacher for Russia"

We help the foundation's HR team to fill themselves with special recruiters, whose major goal is to attract strong professionals of various specialties to work as Teachers in ordinary regional schools. As well as not to be distracted by "regular" vacancies during the hiring season of Teachers. The bonus of this teamwork is the mutual enrichment of recruiting teams.

HR-everything in Vera foundation

We help the new director of the foundation and her Team to form an HR strategy and culture, focused on attracting and developing a large number of leaders, and corresponding to her brand, hiring and internal processes. This is not an easy task for any company. Especially under the conditions of budgetary constraints of NPOs and the need to extend influence outside the state [on volunteers and medical staff, which are directly working with beneficiaries]. But Vera has the main thing - the conscious motivation of strong professionals headed by Lena. So it will work.

HOW WE WORK WITH PROJECTS

How we work
with projects

Meet the project leaders
understand the request and whether we can be useful

Meet the team,
delve into the processes and culture

Share the vision
of necessary changes

Help
the leader and the team to form a realistic plan of actions

Support with essentials
during the process, but not instead of the team

Will be demanding
and help to go through the whole way

Won't take a dime,
but if the project is venture and our help led to prepare for a round - we expect to lead it as an investor

What we can do well

Transition from projects to products based on lean + TRIZ (theory of inventive problem solving)
HR: from simple competent recruiting to brand and strategy
Building a business system: introducing COO and processes while maintaining the generation of innovations
Non_traumatic implementation of IT systems and no/low-code

Who is it for

For those who have a lot of energy, who love and know their job well
But has difficulties with specific business processes
Or just can't keep up with the rapid growth of the company
All our expertise is about startups, IT business and charity
From idea to transferring the operating system to the COO and the Team

MONEY, NETWORK AND EXPERTISE
for these activities came from entrepreneurship

In my whole life, I have launched 8 different business projects with 1 to 250 people in the state. Nowadays, being a part of a number of teams, I am working on:

101internet.ru

In 2008, I founded a company of comparison of telecom services and was its CEO until August 2020. In 2018, we started to build a self-governing structure - now the company is fully managed by the Team. My role is advisor.

choosers.club

MVP 101internet.ru for a number of countries in Asia and Africa. Launched by a new team in March 2021. My roles are advisor and investor.

Eco-startup

Its goal is to accelerate the development of a culture of careful consumption in society through public catering. Product is a methodology and a set of materials that allow restaurant owners to implement lean practices and make money, not spend it. To do so, the restaurant team will need to create a demand for eco among its guests, solving both their task and the task of the project at the same time. Current stage: we have a research of practices, a concept and a group of specialized volunteers, we are searching for a leader [and have difficulties]. [help if you have someone in mind]

HR-MVP for NPO

A project born of our recruiting activities for NPOs. We decided to give a fish-rod and teach how to fish. The MVP will include everything that HR can do, rolled into one. Our function is to show the leaders of NPOs how just one right HR can radically change the whole company, help to find him and share our methods

Investments in tech startups

The strategy is based on the understanding that trying to outplay the best investment funds of the whole world in their field for a small group of smart [even if the most, but this is far from the truth] people is reckless.

In the search for:

the strongest companies within powerful trends, where everyone will make money - those who managed to spot opportunities in time, ready to make decisions on an extremely incomplete set of data and wait 10+ years for the result, financing the development of mankind
the opportunities to close the deals with the most profitable venture capital funds [~30% IRR]
temporary imbalances in the markets, where the main advantage is the speed of decision-makin
markets and deals where, for specific reasons, the lack of large funds and investment banks is visible, and the advantage is paradoxically given by a relatively small amount of capital

All this works better in the company of colleagues who share our idea: together we search, analyze and invest. Check per one deal - $10K+, adequate variance - from 10 deals. [join us]
