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
