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.

Are you totally happy with your website's tone of voice?

Hey product hunters!
We all believe we're capable writers. I personally prefer to come up with the wording for my landing page myself.

But what if we could use any persona or even a cartoon character to rewrite our landing page? The Internet holds a database of the greatest speeches and educational courses by the best orators of this and past generations. We created Liketony.ai, a completely free tool, for anybody to try and see whether they could improve their website. Make it more sales-oriented or just funny. It's open-sourced, come help us build it (https://github.com/Co4egar/liket...) and upvote it if you like it. My favorite is Master Yoda, you choose yours.
