Competitive chess player and an AI noob

About

I've been building companies for over 17 years. At 20, I launched the first livestock transportation company in Russia and sold it at 24. Then I spent 10 years building Nextouch.ru, the largest EduTech electronics manufacturer in Russia ($50M+ raised, over $300M in sales to date). That company is going public in 2027. I moved to the US in March 2022 and switched to building software. I was failing/pivoting from event management platforms to HR tools to sports streaming until I found myself building B2B tools for the iGaming space. Then the AI revolution hit, and I, the non-technical founder, could finally build solo:) (which my team of 60+ is not too happy about). You'll see some of my exercises here, and hopefully you'll vote for them.
