Hi! I'm dmitri

Let's get to know each other.

WHAT I DO

I work with early-stage startups to build, launch & scale B2B products and operate their teams effectively - one strategic direction at a time.

in short, full-stack operations on steroids: COO x Chief of Staff.

WRITING

POINT-BLANK

I write practical "no-fluff" notes on Substack focused on go-to-market strategy, team leadership, and startup development with a touch of fun. To the point, weekly.

For builders: founders & operators

OTHER THAN THAT

WHAT I DO

Give practical and hands-on advice to pre-PMF startups, helping to build out operations, focus the company’s positioning and product messaging, enhance go-to-market motion, & support fundraising efforts.

IN THE PAST

WHAT I'VE DONE

• COO/Chief of Staff | Software startup: from the bootstrapped stage through fundraising to acquisition
• Managing director | Private equity: run a $30m+ portfolio of small but fast-growing companies
• Co-founder | Investment Consulting: from 0 to 25 employees, acquired by a strategic buyer
