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 specialized in mobile app development and promotion since 2009. Having started his career as a CTO with TochkaK, Anatoly joined Ostrovok.ru where he worked as the Head of Mobile Products for two years. In 2013 Anatoly won a hackathon hosted by AngelHack. At present he combines his business pursuits with teaching at Netologia online school.
Anatoly is the undoubted leader of our team, with invaluable expertise in ASO and competitive app analysis. He is a huge fan of metrics and remote culture and is passionate about SaaS.
Eugene started his career with Accenture in 2001, then spent several years working for the Russian mobile telco Beeline where he headed a partner programme. In 2005 Eugene joined his first startup. Having co-founded a company which designed mobile applications for operators, he sold his stake in 2016 to concentrate fully on AppFollow.
Eugene Kruglov is responsible for attracting investments and financial management; he is also in charge of many different aspects of working with users.
A winner of an AngelHack Hackathlon stage, Pavel is our coding guru. He used to work for Acronis and Mars before joining the Ostrovok.ru team, where he met Anatoly. The tandem has collaborated on several projects, including the award-winning Alerter app. Pavel is a keen athlete and traveller; he has swum across the Bosphorus and runs marathons.
No matter where he is on the globe, Pavel works non-stop to deliver the best products. He is responsible for security, technology and architecture.
