Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMykola Babenko is a pragmatic founder and Head of Engineering with over a decade building deep-tech, Web3, and AI ventures from idea to scale. He has co-founded seven companies, helped raise roughly $50M across ecosystems, and directly managed product, ops, and technical teams through funding gaps with >80% retention. Technically hands-on, he has delivered production infrastructure (patent-pending autonomous IaC agents) while also running a $2M crypto syndicate and designing tokenomics for a DePIN that achieved a $100M+ commercial valuation. Comfortable oscillating between code, architecture, and board-level strategy, he excels at turning ambitious visions into resilient operational systems. Based in Lisbon, he’s open to co-founding, senior operational leadership, VC venture partner roles, or hands-on advisory work. A less obvious strength: he pairs fiscal discipline and FP&A experience with deep engineering credibility, extending runway and preserving team continuity in lean conditions.
