Dmitry is the founder of Tortoise ($11m raised), which is building remote-controlled mobile vending machines, which are the world’s first “smart stores”. It takes less than 15 seconds to complete a transaction with frictionless tap-to-pay user experience and Tortoise is piloting these robots in at least a dozen cities around the world. In this episode we talk about how Dmitry approached building a robotics and automation startup, and the many decisions that led Tortoise to where it is today.
We also talk about Dmitry’s stellar early career and lessons learnt from being part of the early team at Facebook, Pulse, Linkedin and Uber. Dmitry shares his best career advice, some incredible stories from the early days of Facebook/Linkedin, and his experience at Uber where he championed the JUMP acquisition and overall multi-model mobility strategy.
