Hey, I'm Vlad.

I was born in Yakutsk, Siberia, one of the coldest cities on earth. Raised in Spain. Now based in San Francisco.

I moved to San Francisco for university, but spent most of my time outside the classroom. Where quite frankly, I skipped classes to go to Stanford at night on a Caltrain, to attend lectures and pitch to investors.

I’m currently working on ScholarMates and Aurelius.

I started building early. From Unity apps and LEGO EV3 robotics to online businesses. At 13, I was selling CS:GO skins and running tournaments on FACEIT making a bit over $15K. At 14 I traded stocks and was reselling sneakers. At 16, I built a technical e-commerce brand to $200K in revenue. At 17, I managed operations of a 30-hectare farm in Spain ($170K ARR).

Outside of business, I compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I’m a multiple-time World, European, and National champion, with appearances on AD Sports and Match TV.

Part of Founders, Inc. and Entrepreneurs First.

I’m interested in building things that last and meeting people who take their work seriously.

If that’s you, feel free to reach out.
