About Us
Alina Bochkacheva
A three-time immigrant, Alina learned how to start over multiple times. Perhaps this is why she feels she can figure anything out, no matter how complex. Starting her career as a software developer, she quickly shifted to the product and UX fields. Alina brings substantial experience working for minnows and unicorns in dozens of markets with all kinds of start-ups and loves every age and stage.
Loves: Coffee AND avocados. Analysing human behaviours. Vivaldi’s “Winter”.
Hates: Wet sleeves. Mint ice cream
Christian Sykes
Coming up through foster care in the armpit of London has given Christian a capacity for comfort amid total chaos. As it turns out, this can be helpful in start-up land. Unkillable optimist and fan of (almost) everyone, “Syko” is motivated by seeing people go much further than they believed they ever could.
Loves: Coffee. Discovering that he was wrong. Figuring things out with great people.
Hates: Avocados. The obdurate. Acronymisation.
