Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolYury Podorozhnyy is a strategic advisor and serial technology founder with 11+ years of experience building zero-to-one products and scaling consumer services inside major platforms. He founded Any Void (acquired by Yandex) and later led Yandex Maps, Metro, and Kinopoisk, growing flagship products to tens of millions of monthly users and introducing ML and cross-platform engineering practices that materially cut costs and time-to-market. More recently he founded Artichoke Labs to push city-scale spatial computing and advises AI-first consumer startups like Fjor and Refsee, bridging deep computer vision research with product-led growth. Trained as a mathematician-computer scientist at Moscow State University, he pairs rigorous technical intuition with a track record of turning prototypes into commercial hits—and he’s as comfortable debating Ruby on Rails trade-offs as testing VPS accuracy on a snowboard trip.
