Hello everyone, this is Artem speaking (my LinkedIn) - Founder & CEO of FundRight AI matching app for other founders & investors in the EU region.
Imagine setting out to create something that could change the game for startups and investors. That’s where the story of FundRight begins—a story of vision, collaboration, and the will to make a difference in the European tech scene and here’s how we turned a bold idea into a reality.
Visionary Beginnings: Crafting the Identity
Our adventure started with a blank slate and the drive to make an impact. The first thing we did wasn't to plan features or write code. It was to design an identity that reflected the future we were eager to build—one where the connection between startups and investors was intuitive, intelligent, and impactful.

The Quest for a Co-Founder
Every path to creating something new is better walked with a companion. Through the channels of friendships and professional relationships, I found the right person to join the journey. Together, we forged a partnership grounded in shared ambition and commitment to our shared vision for FundRight.
Stepping Into the Limelight
We took our story to the EMERGE conference. This wasn't just another event; it was our debut, our chance to share FundRight with the world and gather the feedback that would help us grow.
The MVP Milestone
Creating our MVP was a labor of love, a chapter of our story where family played a starring role. With my wife leading the design efforts, we brought to life a platform that was as much about user experience as it was about technological innovation.
Expanding the Team
As the foundation of FundRight solidified, we reached out to bring new talent into the fold. We were joined by a frontend developer whose skills and enthusiasm for our mission were just what we needed to push our project further.
The Balancing Act
One of the most challenging aspects of this journey was maintaining my responsibilities while dedicating myself to FundRight. This delicate balancing act taught me the true meaning of commitment and the value of meticulous planning.
A New Chapter
The next leg of our journey involves a move to the Netherlands, marking a new chapter in our partnership with the World Startup accelerator—a move that promises to unlock new possibilities.
An Open Invitation
We're now opening our doors to those who want to be part of the early stages of FundRight. Our platform isn’t just about making matches; it’s about building futures.
Sharing Our Journey
Our story continues to be written and shared, offering a window into the progress and passion behind FundRight.
In every step of building FundRight, it's the drive to innovate and connect that has been our currency. Now, with another talented developer joining our ranks, our narrative is not just about the platform we’re building but about the community we’re creating. Join us on this exciting voyage.
