I assembled a team and together we created a product from scratch.

Take first place at the IT Arena Startup Competition and won $20,000.
I have more than 2 years of experience in Product management. I’m the founder and CEO of my startup. Our team is developing a new product - a SaaS platform for video production agencies that helps organize data while preparing to shoot a video. Now we are working on the UK and US markets.

As the CEO, I am responsible for gathering and analyzing user information, identifying their main pain points, and using this knowledge to formulate product hypotheses and ideas. I then create product mockups and tasks for our development team. 

Also, I collaborated closely with our sales and marketing team to develop strategies for attracting new customers. As we were building our processes from the ground up, I gained experience in lead generation, email campaigns, advertising, and other customer acquisition methods.

I oversaw the launch of two products, each aimed at validating different hypotheses about our product's feature set. In the process, we successfully onboarded approximately 200 users.  Also, I participated in and completed two startup acceleration programs. And in 2022, we took home the top prize in the IT Arena Startup Competition.

In my work, I utilize the following tools:

- Notion (for note-taking, team collaboration management, and planning)
- Jira (for development planning)
- Figma (for designing mockups and prototypes)
- Miro (for mind mapping and idea development with the team)
- HubSpot (CRM system)
- Apollo (lead generation and email campaign automation)
- LinkedIn Sales Navigator (lead generation on LinkedIn)
- Mixpanel and Hotjar (for product analytics)

Being a CEO of a startup is an advantage in itself, as it has provided me with a very comprehensive experience. I need to be at the center of all events, communicate with customers, understand their needs, be able to clearly set development goals, generate and implement new ideas, understand and track key product and financial metrics, and do a lot of other work that helps to perceive the product as a business ecosystem.
Currently, I am looking for opportunities to work with a more experienced team and products that are in the later stages of development with high user engagement. It would also be interesting to gain experience working with products in the B2C segment, although I am open to other options as well.
