I’ve escaped two dictatorships – one by protest, the other by war.
Belarus, then Ukraine.
Now in Lisbon, figuring out what “home” means.
So I host salons & build experiments about Network-Society futures.

2/
We call it FutureState.TV
A roaming platform of odd formats: world cafés, podcast tapings, prototype talks.
Audience ranges from Web3 founders to diplomats to degens who ask good questions.
Diversity of signals > ideological purity. DM to join the backchannel.

But rent is real.
So I drop into teams as a fractional CMO or research lead
Most fun I’ve had?
Built a research engine that landed 9 tier-1 clients like CoinsPaid, Blockchain.com etc.
Published deep-dives picked up by The Block, Binance, CoinTelegraph.
Trust > clicks.

4/
I also co-founded WAKA, a Gen-Z dating app powered by creators.
100K users. 10× cheaper CAC. $300K raised.
Even our lead investor found their soulmate inside.
Not a bad metric.
But I value what it gave me more than what it made.

5/
Now I mostly record conversations, build strange rooms, and DJ to keep my mind quiet.
Also: I’m married and have a Maine Coon named Heidi.
So yes, I know what long-term commitment looks like

If you’re building something sovereign-ish – protocol, city, or collective
I’d love to jam.
DMs open. Or find me in Lisbon.
