We came in torn between two paths (B2B vs. B2C), with traction, but a lot of emotional and energetic weight around the decision. He not only helped us break it down logically, but also challenged our assumptions in a way that felt productive and energizing, not heavy. You’re talking to someone with deep expertise, but it never feels intimidating.

VP of Operations @ Hyperskill (EdTech, US) Full Review
I had a very productive and pleasant discussion with Dmitry about all my questions on finding first users for my product. He gave me super specific recommendations on what steps to take before developing the product, where to find people to research problems, how many interviews to conduct, how to recognize when I need to change idea or ICP, what to write to them, what to ask and much more!

Founder @ My Yoga Network (Wellness, US) Full Review
He was great, very thorough and patient, we talked about how to find product market fit through interviewing clients and getting referrals which is the basic step before scaling. In our next session he suggested meeting up to talk about how to do interviews in more detail. Great guy!
Our discussion on hypothesis testing was extremely valuable, helping me focus on key actions for startup growth. Your expertise in product-market fit and your practical approach to validating ideas are truly impressive. I appreciate your openness in sharing your wealth of experience across various industries. Your guidance will be instrumental in avoiding common pitfalls and accelerating our path to success.
Dmitry is an amazing mentor. He very effectively helped me navigate a framework towards continuing to work on a current business vs. maintaining/dropping it in order to pivot from scratch and work on another business where the odds of success are higher. Dmitry is an expert in business heuristics and when to keep going vs. when to pivot vs. when to fold.

Product Director and Founder (Travel Tech, EMEA) Full Review
Everything was incredibly clear and well-structured. We covered various scenarios for the startup’s development across different markets, discussed core features in detail, and outlined their limitations. We also had a great conversation about the growth roadmap and the strategy for attracting investment — very insightful and practical. It was really valuable and gave me a lot to think about.
I gained a lot from this meeting. Dmitry was very knowledgeable while providing practical step by step approach to reach GTM and product market fit as soon as possible. I found his recommendation massively useful and it helps me to take to move forward in what I have seeking to resolve. His experience and willingness to help with valuable information is top notch.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dmitry during the ADPList conference. His energy and clarity really stood out, and I immediately felt inspired to reach out for advice on my startup. Our session was everything I hoped for — motivating, insightful, and very grounding. I walked away with clarity and a sense of direction, and I’m truly grateful for the experience. So glad I took that chance to connect!
