# Dmitry Stavisky > Startup Advisor | International Expansion Specialist | YC Startup Founder | 2-Time CEO I’ve helped build two unicorns as a founding team member, building products and leading growth at Edwin/Buddy.ai (YC W18), Evernote, Lingualeo, and SightPath/Cisco. Earlier in my career, I wrote lots of code at Boston startups, built numerical climate models, and conducted field studies of Arctic and mountain climates. Currently, I’m prototyping and user-testing AI-native productivity tools for educators and knowledge workers—exploring what’s newly possible with the latest AI stack. I also advise startup founders - help them get off the ground in domestic and international markets. With three exits, two CEO postings, and multiple product launches, I bring a wealth of experience. **Rating:** 5/5 (1 reviews) ## Offerings - Video call (15 min): $200.00 ## Example Questions - I’m thinking of starting a company.
