One-off sessions with Dmitry
One-off sessions are a great option if you’re looking for specific advice on a certain topic.
Whatever doesn't fit the mold: Get a full hour with a mentor to discuss your needs. Be it help with coding something, deciding on a strategy for your business, pushing your career forward or help with a project. If you don't know whether what you …
What's included in the trial?
Every trial is a little different—here’s what Dmitry says about their trial:
We'll meet for a quick call (usually under 30 minutes) where we:
- Break the ice and introduce ourselves
- Discuss your goals and how I can support you
- Coordinate logistics like time zones, meeting frequency, and communication methods
I spent the last 12 years building 0->1 startups across six US, UK, and EMEA industries.
Which was when I realized:
→ You don't need a product to get your first traction.
Yet, most founders tend to think otherwise.
The result?
42% of startups (in reality, even more) fail because they lack product-market fit.
They end up:
→ Wasting over a year building a product that no one wants;
→ Spending >$100k while developing the wrong product;
→ Launching products that gather dust on the shelf.
All to eventually pivot… or worse.
So, I got obsessed with answering one question:
How do you figure out what to build before you build it? (thus saving a ton of $$$)
I did it while:
1) Building a $10M ARR mental health marketplace in Eastern Europe;
2) Helping an R&D team reshape the mobility industry within the largest IPO in the UK;
3) Pivoting a SaaS product to unlock $30M in GMV in EMEA.
These are success stories. The failures are too many to count.
I can't promise you a product-market fit (no one can).
I can promise you one thing: building a product or raising money before getting traction NO LONGER WORKS for most startups.
Sell first, build and fund later.
