Volodymyr

I’m Ukrainian. I moved to Vienna on my own at 17, and I build from here: everything I make is rooted in Ukraine.

Ukrainian is my native language. My English is C1 and my German is B2.

I was school president: more than 40 events, and a system that raised more at our charity fundraisers.

The youngest fellow in the cohort at ELP, AustrianStartups’ Entrepreneurial Leadership Program in Vienna. The youngest finalist team in the history of IdeasLab at UCU, top 10 of 147. The youngest team ever to pitch at Notre Dame’s IDEA Center, at 17.

I started with design. Then I learned programming, video editing and 3D modelling, and I’ve been photographing for a long time. So I had a lot of different skills before AI came along.

Then I started using all of them with AI. Because I know how each craft works by hand, AI helps me understand things better and build much faster: products, AI agents for companies, AI video editing, brands and sites.

Some of what that looks like today: our video lessons are edited by an AI pipeline that syncs titles and animations to what the teacher says; the NMT.academy Telegram bot answers students, teachers and parents from the course material; through Etherlynx I build agents for clients that reply to leads, handle support and write reports. This site was built the same way.

The concept first. Then the business model, and the brand.

We competed with students from the best universities in Ukraine while we were still in school. We built products during the war and the blackouts, and competed with people whose experience in IT is as long as we have been alive.

While we built Bridge and went through IdeasLab, the best accelerator for students in Ukraine, I was still in school and preparing for the NMT, with 27 hours of tutors a week.
