Dr Olga Oleinikova and Kyrylo Medvediev built Heylink.me over five years of relentless iteration, testing dozens of completely different directions before landing on the link-management platform that now serves 11 million users. This fireside chat walks through their actual process, the accelerator programs and pivots that shaped their thinking, and the moments when quitting looked rational. You'll hear how they navigated founding as a couple while building a family, and what finally made their product click with users at scale. There's open Q&A after, plus time to network with other founders in the room. The conversation is in Russian.
