Early Internet Pioneer, 20+ Years of Experience

AI Champ Tony: AI Consultant, Developer & Mentor

During my 20-year career, I developed websites in the very early internet, founded and ran 2 marketing agencies, helped launch several successful startups, and failed a few of my own. Originally from Russia, for the last 12 years I have been living location independent. Started my journey with 1 year in India and 30,000 km on a motorcycle through Europe, went on dancing in Brazil for 2 years and scuba diving in Asia for another 2. One thing never changed — whatever I do, I geek out over it.

Having joined the blockchain sector in 2017, the first 2 years I worked as an ICO growth hacker in 3 startups, contributing $17m to their $50m raise. April 2022 brought my a-ha moment, and since then, there hasn't been a day when a thought hasn't passed through my mind: "How did we end up in the future that Asimov, Clarke, and others were predicting?".

Currently my work involves:
‍
- Helping start-ups and established organizations build AI agents and integrate other AI tools into their processes to save time and reduce spend on marketing, support, community management and operations.
- Mentor start-ups in Outlier Ventures AI+Web3 basecamp.
- Host of 'The AI Champs Podcast', having conversations with industry leaders about how AI is changing the world today and tomorrow, and how to prepare for this change.

A Different Kind of Consulting Approach

Tony spent years in the agency space solving bottlenecks for clients across data analytics and start-up consulting. One of his core realizations across this time period was that the agency model is broken, often creating deeper costs and more inefficiency for the client. He took this insight and transitioned into direct consulting + implementation, with the goal of accelerating delivery and overall clarity for the clients that he works with.

Agency Model

Miscommunication, project management errors, bottlenecks
Clear communication, direct feedback, no project bloat
Overpromise, sometimes underdeliver
Pay for results, rate based on direct inputs
Often contract to inexperienced freelancers to lower costs
Top Rated & Expert Vetted for over a decade
