Evgeny Popov is a seasoned entrepreneur and technologist with over two decades in IT and a decade of startup leadership, currently co-founder and CEO of Hostme, a fast-growing cloud-based front-of-house platform used by 4,000+ restaurants across 50+ countries. He previously founded and sold APIphany to Microsoft and then joined Azure as a Principal Program Manager, bringing rare operator experience inside a major cloud vendor. Evgeny combines product-led growth, inbound marketing, and hands-on engineering to build SaaS products that solve real operational pain for restaurants and developers alike. His background as an early cloud-computing pioneer and enterprise architect informs Hostme’s scalable, low-maintenance design and API-first approach. Based in Bellevue, WA, he wears multiple hats—from product management and sales to content-driven growth—and is driven by making dining better while increasing restaurateurs’ profitability. Notably, his career arcs from low-level software development to exit and enterprise integration, giving him both technical depth and commercial savvy.
