I reached out to Mikhail because of his VC experience. Turned out we many connections. I took 1 hour session. It was deep, insigthful. Mikhail answered all my questions, and provided his expert view on the topic of VC fundraising in general. I took that knowledge and already am implementing in my business scaling process. Much recommended.

I initially came to Mikhail for guidance on how to best structure a career transition. Mikhail is a great mentor, and is able to provide valuable insights into how to best communicate with potential employers, what the expectations are, and how to best navigate future career uncertainty. I now feel much more equipped to take on future challenges!
