Overview
Work Experience
General Partner
2022 - Current
At Acrobator Ventures, I bring my expertise in AI/ML combined with 12 years of experience as CTO and chief architect. This enables us to do deep dives into our prospective deals. In a world where future tech relies on artificial intelligence, a deep understanding of a start-up's potential based on their current and planned ML power is key to assessing their path to success. Are they real innovators? Ahead of the pack? Does their product make sense in the space? What does it need to push it further? I believe the modern VC must be a high tech venture. Utilizing state of the art AI/ML and data science is key for success and should form the core mechanism for supporting decision makers. At Acrobator we build on these ideas, developing the modern tools harnessing AI for sourcing, DD, valuation and automation. As an experienced CTO, who has designed, built, and managed teams of close to a hundred products, from startup MVPs to fully fledged, scalable enterprise applications, I am able to communicate with our portfolio startups' management and dev teams on the right levels, guide them on anything from building up a quality dev team, processes and improving code's maintainability, scalability, security, and testability to mentoring and advising management on relating tech with business objectives. The skills I bring to the table at Acrobator, merged with each of my partners' expertise creates a unique synergy. A synergy tuned for the sourcing and developing of the best ideas, teams and products on the early startup scene. Acrobator Ventures invests in big impact tech founders at the pre-seed to seed stage. We operate from Amsterdam and Kyiv/Tbilisi and are extra interested in Eastern founders building bridges to Western markets like the US. Acrobator Ventures focuses on the network-, data-, and market(ing) access of founders. Our two core competencies are artificial intelligence and growth marketing.
