Startup Operator & AI Builder | GTM, Paid Growth, MVPs

Most founders don't need a strategy deck. They need someone who ships. I've co-founded 10 companies. I built the growth engine inside each one, usually with my own hands, usually before there was a budget to hire anyone. ⭐️ NUMBERS ▪️ RichAds: co-founded a push, popunder and native ad network. $0 to $1M MRR in 16 months. ▪️ $1M+ managed on Meta and Google across SaaS, apps, e-commerce, dating and finance. ▪️ 150 creative tests in 3 weeks on one account. 10 winners. CPL down 38%. ▪️ AI outbound engine on Clay, Apollo and Make down 60%. ▪️ Telegang: 2M+ targeted Telegram subscribers acquired. ▪️ Platformio: international BD across NA, EU and APAC. 50+ partnerships, $2M+ pipeline from 30+ trade shows. 🔵 GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY Positioning, ICP, offer, channel mix, and a 90-day plan that says what to test first and what to ignore. I build the customer journey map and the messaging that every asset downstream inherits. Two-sided marketplaces are a specialty: which side to seed first, and how to keep both sides warm enough that transactions actually happen. 🔵 GROWTH HACKING 7-day cycles. Hypothesis Monday, live Wednesday, results Friday, kill or scale the next Monday. Landing page and offer tests, pricing experiments, funnel rebuilds, referral loops, community seeding. 🔵 PAID ACQUISITION Meta, Google and TikTok, plus push, popunder and native networks. Server-side tracking with Meta CAPI, Google Enhanced Conversions and server-side GTM, because without clean signal the algorithm gets dumber and your CPA climbs. Creative is the real lever now, so I run volume: concepts and variations tested separately, minimum two hooks per video, 10 to 30% of budget reserved for testing. 🔵 MARKETING AUTOMATION HubSpot setup, lead scoring, MQL to SQL routing, email and nurture flows, and dashboards that report CAC, payback and pipeline instead of impressions. 🔵 AI AGENTIC ENGINEERING This is the multiplier under everything above. I build software so the same person can run three times the work, and I build MVPs so you can sell a thing before you build it properly. What I ship for clients: landing pages in Framer, waitlists, working prototypes, small AI-powered products. First version live in days, not sprints. What I build to make the growth work faster: ▪️ For GTM: research agents that build and qualify ICP lists, monitor competitors, and turn 20 customer interviews into one page of patterns. ▪️ For growth hacking: experiment trackers, fast landing page variants, and reporting that assembles itself so Friday's read takes minutes. ▪️ For paid: a creative pipeline from brief to script to AI video, ad copy variants at volume, and cross-account reporting pulled into one view. ▪️ For outbound: enrichment and scoring pipelines, plus sequences that personalize from real signals instead of a first-name token. Stack: Claude, Clay, Apollo, n8n, Make, custom GPTs. ✳️ HOW I WORK I treat your budget like my own money and I don't wait for permission to fix a funnel that isn't converting. You get one owner for growth, not a coordination problem. Best fit: startups, apps and marketplaces just before or just after product-market fit. Founders who need a senior operator now and can't yet justify a full-time hire. ✳️ HOW WE START Send me your URL, your current monthly spend, and the one number that hurts: CAC, activation, pipeline or launch date. I'll tell you where I think the money leaks and whether I'm the right person to fix it. Dmitry
