In this episode, my guest is Nikita. For 14 years, Nikita built a career as a software engineer at large tech companies, such as Yandex — a tech giant in Russia — and later at Microsoft, where he reached the position of Senior Software Engineer.

However, Nikita then decided to dive into entrepreneurship by joining an entrepreneurship program at Antler. This program welcomes individuals from various backgrounds who aspire to become entrepreneurs. During the program, participants can find co-founders, form the first members of their team, validate their ideas, and even raise initial funding.

In this interview, Nikita shares:

- What it was like to leave Microsoft

- How valuable it was to join Antler

- How starting a business worked out in practice

- What it was like to join a fast-growing Series A startup
