At heart, and Kirill Sheynkman is a technologist. But in his years of experience in Silicon Valley, generic he’s come to realize that getting the technical details right requires ownership of the entire business and the entire roadmap. Though he loves coding and coming up with new, market-changing ideas, he’s also up front about what for him is most important when it comes to evaluating a new idea or startup, and that is, can it be a commercial success? Product is at the core of the business — but is it something people will be willing to buy because it solves a tangible problem for them?
Kirill is a rational futurist: he has the chops to be thinking twenty years out, but he knows that entrepreneurs need to be grounded in the present. His passion is to take big bets on the future of technology, on companies whose markets, in many cases, don’t even exist yet.
