Testimonials
I cannot thank Mikhail more for his dutiful support when I was one of his mentees. I did not have great networking skills, but my small business needed new partnerships if I wanted to grow it. Mikhail gave me all the tips I needed and personally curated my development in networking. He helped me find local communities and events in Venice and around Italy so that I could attend and make new connections that ultimately helped my flower shop’s website grow! I am very happy with this mentorship.

A friend recommended me Mikhail’s studying course. He had completed it and was more than satisfied. We both graduated from the Higher School of Economics, the Data Science programme. However, we took a minor course in Business Development, and it was a blast. After we both completed the mentorship programme, my friend and I went on to launch our own business, Friendly Family, which helps young people find and rent their dream apartments or private rooms. Mikhail has been a great help throughout the entire initial process since I came up with the idea. My friend eagerly joined me, and now we are in the growth stage of our startup.

I am a founder of a small digital business, I created an app for managing finances for self-employed individuals. The idea came to me from my experience, since I was a self-employed translator. At some point, I decided to scale up my business and cross international borders. However, I needed to learn about attracting investments in European countries. I dived deep into Google and surprisingly found Mikhail Mizhinsky’s outstanding free mentoring programme. I easily passed the selection criteria and was chosen as a mentee. The course was exactly what I needed. I learned so much about business strategy, finances, and investments in relation to digital products and their scaling. Now, I am in the process of pitching my app to European venture funds and already have some budding partnerships. Thank you, Mikhail!

I had recently graduated from Freie Universität Berlin, studying languages. However, I had found my passion for digital business development not long before my graduation. Then I came across Mikhail’s educational course, and I immediately knew this was what I needed. I had already had a startup idea, and Mikhail helped me develop it and taught me how to work on an MVP that is eligible for attracting investments. It is wonderful that this programme is free of charge and helps up-and-coming businesspeople achieve their dreams.
Hanz from Berlin, Germany
Completing Mikhail’s mentoring program has been a wonder for my professional growth. My business used to be on the bottom of the barrel, but now I am making progress developing its proprietary mobile app and attracting investments. Mikhail gave me all the necessary knowledge to excel at business development.
