Bio
I had an opportunity and pleasure collaborate with Evgeny at various startup occasions within Czech and international ecosystem, so far with him namely as mentor during DEXIC Accelerator 2018, DEXIC Accelerator 2019. The cooperation with Evgeny will still continue also for the startup activities in 2020 and beyond. As for mentoring, Evgeny has provided to startups valuable feedback looking on the product and how to make the product presentation interesting for investors. Evgeny is good networker and has solid network not only in the Czech ecosystem but also has connections with the incubators and accelerators in Russian speaking CIS countries.
Dear Evgeniy , I’d like to thank you for your valuable contribution to my startup. It was easy and interesting to follow your instructions as they were clear, reasonable, practical and expending horizons. And thanks to your expertise, I was able to look at my project from a different perspective. Moreover, I’d like to notice, that you wouldn’t mind sitting with me and creating with me some real things instead of just giving me advice on how to do it. That was great because I would spend much more time without you. Defenitely only very few consultants do this. I really appreciate your true involvement and your sincere willingness to help me, you motivated me for new achievements. I hope we’ll keep in touch and i could still receive your advice. Kind regards, Saule UniClub.kz
