No one remembers how we decided to do it together, but we do remember having a drink in a bar. As a team we debuted in early 2015 when we joined IIDF acceleration program and did our best to take AppFollow off the ground.
First concept of AppFollow as a competitive analysis tool appeared to be too complicated. We started think of ourselves as a monitoring tool. And this simple idea helped us a lot in winning customers all over the world.
Our international experience started with graduating from Startup Sauna accelerator in November, 2015. Since that time we grew from three co-founders to ten colleagues and like-minded people.
Anatoly has been involved in the development and promotion of mobile apps since 2009. He worked as CTO in software studio TochkaK, then for 2 years was head of mobile products in Ostrovok.ru. In 2013 he won AngelHack hackathon in Moscow with his own app called Alerter.
He is undoubtful leader with expertise in ASO and competitive app analysis.

Evgeny started his career in 2001 in Accenture, then for few years worked in biggest Russian mobile telco Beeline. In 2005 he joined his first startup and that set up his career as a serial entrepreneur. By the time he joined AppFollow, it was his 4th venture.
He is the only one co-founder that can’t code but does legal and finance stuff.

Pavel is our master of code. He used to work in Acronis and Mars but later he joined Ostrovok.ru and met Anatoly. Since that time they worked together on several projects, including award winning Alerter app. Pavel runs marathons, swims across Bosphorus and travels all over the world.
He works non-stop: no matter where he is, he constantly makes commits to the product.

Nastya is our employee #1. She is in mobile industry since 2014. In that year she joined outsourcing mobile apps development startup as CMO. Later in 2015 she was driving user acquisition as well as analytics for mobile products on U.S. market. We’re very proud of her analytical skills, eagerness to learn more and willingness to make our customers happy.
Even though Dima has quite a short story of working together with Anatoly in TochkaK, they were keeping in touch since 2013. Dima is responsible for web apps support and development, particularly he is part of Kinoplan team. He co-stars in AppFollow as a front-end developer, creating and constantly improving all interfaces.
Yana’s copywriting and content story started as a university project for Internet Marketing course. Afterwards, she became SEO and Content Manager of German beauty startup Vaniday.
Thanks to his love to order and good structure he plays a role of deadline, why-not-done and how-to-do manager. Anton worked in projects for Megafon, Johnson & Johnson, Major Auto, etc. After he independently developed web-service smestanamasto.ru he decided to join a fresh-minded AppFollow team.
Artem's moto "use Perl or die" speaks for itself. A few years ago he fell in love with Perl language when first time saw "perl -e". In AppFollow Artem is in charge of backend development: API, integrations, etc. He has got a dog, Jack Russell Terrier named Mojo (Mojolicious).
Denis started his career as a project manager in I-Will digital agency. Later he was hired to be in charge of customer service in Socialjet. He joined AppFollow team to work on new ASO projects in order to become a mobile marketing expert.
If you’re passionate about apps, analytics and stuff, if you want to rock’n’roll and if you like Minttu, come and join our team.
