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 dozens of 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.
Eugene 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.
