About organizer (Kirill):
Hey, y'all! I'm Kirill. Shortly after high school, I left my homeland and moved to the USA. I've traveled to over 20 countries, lived in four states, and embarked on numerous entrepreneurial ventures.
In the USA, I quickly adapted, learning the language and diving into the workforce at a young age. My career has spanned diverse roles—from project management at a construction company to handling IT in an early AI startup. My academic path led me to a Bachelor's in Business Administration IT Management and complementing training in software development fundamentals from Coding Bootcamp.
My business is as varied as my travels, I did house flipping, retail arbitrage, and running an Amazon FBA/FBM business. Driven by a desire to achieve something greater than myself, I strive to empower fellow entrepreneurs through knowledge-sharing and actionable insights. Let's connect, collaborate, and turn visions into successful ventures.
At 'Startups In Action,' we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive community where all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion, or background, feel welcomed, respected, and valued. We believe that diversity drives innovation and creativity, and we actively seek to create an environment where everyone can contribute their unique perspectives and talents. Discrimination, harassment, or any form of exclusionary behavior will not be tolerated. We strive to create a safe space where every member feels empowered to participate, collaborate, and thrive.
