Hi, I’m Nik. I’m searching for a tech cofounder to build my next company with. 

Brief Bio:

24yo, Thiel Fellow, sold 2 startups (last one I scaled to $52m, raised $3m and sold it to toptal.com)

Don't have any specific ideas yet but love VR/AR, robots and longevity and open to your ideas!

Why I like these ideas: https://nikshevchenko.substack.com/p/3-things-i-believe-will-change-the

Most impressive accomplishment: Scaled welovenocode.com to $52m valuation, raised $3m, generated $4m+ revenue and sold to toptal.com 

Life story:
-Born in the middle of nowhere In Russia on an island in the Pacific Ocean

-Started to mine crypto at 14 and sold 40 GPUs to my teacher at 16

-Started first company at 16 and sold it by 18 fundplatform.io

-at 19 joined 500 startups and started 2nd company welovenocode.com which I sold to toptal.com

- at 23 became Thiel Fellow

My superpowers:

• I can raise money (raised $3m)

• I can manage (managed people that managed people) 

• I can build web/mobile products fast

• I can sell and market

My weaknesses:

• I’m technical enough to be very fast at building MVPs and to be able to code-switch into technical talk, but haven’t architectured super large-scale systems.

• I’m straightforward. 

Ideal Cofounder

I basically can sell/raise/hire/talk/market. I also can build. I'm looking for a person who likes to build and who is also technical.

My top-3 values are: 

• - Hustle

• - Always be learning 

• - Be passionate

Sketch Of Areas Of Interest

I like VR, robotics and longevity but open to anything else. Also open to HR/ Nocode/AI

1. - Let's make sure everyone lives in Metaverse by 2026

2. - Let's make sure that robots are in every apartment by 2028

3. - Let's make sure that humans live 200 years on average

The Process

1. Reach out to me via email or linkedin with your top-1 impressive achievement to schedule 30 minute chat.

2. One-day collaboration sprint, where we lead into the details of a project together and build mutual high confidence on doing a longer sprint.

3. One-week sprint where we rapidly conduct customer interviews, build prototypes, sketch out company vision & strategy.
