Bio
Eugenia Shevchenko
National Startup Association led by Lasha was very helpful with local partnerships and visibility. Effective steps towards the goal, great communication, timely responses and result oriented approach are the key milestones of Lasha’s day to day involvement. I know Lasha since STYX participated in Seedstars and won the local event, so we can’t wait to kick off this year event and continue cooperating and achieve great success in the following years !

Lasha is an extremely talented Founder/COO and an exceptional, high quality, and fully engaged individual. I had the pleasure of mentoring his company Styx, based in Georgia, through the HubSV project that connected entrepreneurs with mentors based in the Silicon Valley. Lasha has the unique ability to both develop a high level vision and strategy but also work
