me

Founded by Soviet Union, hopefully welcome all-over the world.

I've been online since 1995. In the year 2000, I started working on the Web as a web designer. In 2003, I founded the "SPBNET" company with the aim to bring the business-oriented web-solutions and design to the market. Today I'm involved in several projects related with new media, web production, and seed capital in Russia and Europe.

I'm an internet entrepreneur, creative technologist, web strategist, and Mac evangelist. I'm doing web business not just because it keeps me off the street, but quite frankly, I really love it!

As I'm interested in a lot of things, this site is devoted to highlighting whatever catches my attention. I take pictures, connect to business partners and friends, bookmark the stuff I like, and tell everybody what I'm currently doing and where I am. I share info about music that I listen to and the applications that I use.

Business
My professional activity is mainly at "Etera Group". I'm a CEO, but actually I'm the original founder of this company and a Web2People project - which is a Russian startup center and innovations community. What you read on this site does not necessarily represent the ideas of Etera and Web2People but there may be a connection. I'm also a member on the advisory boards in several russian and international startups. I also have an equity interest in all of these companies.

Contact
If you have an idea for me or my company, want my feedback, need help or just want to chat with me - email me! You need to use my most frequent username (from any of the services mentioned on all pages of this site) and to add @gmail.com or @me.com. If you want me to write something about you or your project in this blog - say so, if don't - say so too.

You may also use any of indicated social services to get in touch with me, but beware that it's not the quickest way to get it done. I'm not expanding my LinkedIn profile with spam-contacts (it could be guessed by no email address in my LinkedIn name :-) - so, please, don't request the connection if you don't know me or don't actually want something from me, I'll appreciate the request to include the purpose...

Photos
I've chosen these photos not just because they are professionally done (I'm not a narcissist or something, but they used to be done for corporate profiles before), but because they go well with my self image. Both pictures were done by a featured photographer Taras Lazarenko, and I really appreciate his work and friendship.
