Summary
Michael Shmulevich is a seasoned technology executive and founder with 25+ years of experience building and scaling software—from early product inception to enterprise-grade, high-throughput platforms. As Co-founder and CTO of FirstTouch, he is driving the concept of "social infrastructure" inside HubSpot, turning ad-hoc social engagement into measurable, workflow-driven revenue signals. He pairs hands-on architecture skills honed at fintech and regulated trading platforms with startup leadership from roles at Blockstation, Exilion, and his own ventures, delivering systems that prioritize scalability, reliability, and attribution. Michael blends formal machine learning study at Stanford with deep Microsoft-certified engineering roots, enabling him to bridge data-driven product strategy and robust system design. An active founder-CTO, he has repeatedly moved teams from prototype to investor-backed products, attracting support from notable VCs and operators. Based in Greater Philadelphia, he brings a pragmatic builder’s mindset and a knack for operationalizing nontraditional channels (like social) into core revenue infrastructure.
