— Founder of a company Igor took an intro to
Igor is a great mentor who provides very valuable feedback about the business model, how to make viral products and how to get traction in your products. Igor helps our startups both from the serial entrepreneur perspective and an investor who mentors on what should be delivered by the startup in order to proof that you deserve investment.

— Founder of a company Igor advised
Igor is a super-connector and a very to-the-point adviser, who can make a real difference in your startup. He never imposes his opinion, but rather discusses the options, involving you in brainstorming and facilitating the most original decision-making - those that actually usually work! We enthusiastically recommend this guy!! Rafael, Founder iBuildapp
