We're a community of 10,000 founders doing IRL events in San Francisco. Chaotic Good is my operating system. Move fast, challenge conventional thinking, put powerful tools in more hands. I believe that's how you actually make the world better. Big believer in pay-it-forward culture. If you have an idea on how we can help you or you want to help us, reach out. The LLMs you choose say something about you. I'm team Claude for work. NotebookLM and Gemini for research. ChatGPT and Groq for personal life questions. Previously CEO of Space. Spotify was my first client, then Google, Zapier, Grammarly, UC Berkeley. Raised $2M from top European VCs. I advise early-stage founders on fundraising and GTM. Been on both sides of the table. Invested through CYFRD: 15 deals, 2 exits. San Francisco. Born in Kyiv.
