Sakhonchyk.

Fourteen years of launching what didn't exist yet — concrete, retail, 3D, networking, now AI search.

I stopped managing people and started managing models.

We beat the industry standard blind


Recruiters compared four sourcing engines without knowing which was which. The bar is what each engine costs per seat; the rank is how the humans actually placed it.

Fourteen years nest like this: industries hold products, products hold the pieces somebody had to actually build. Pick a floor.

AI and people search

Pearch.AI

livedata science · deep tech · people tech

Founder. An engine that finds the right person from a plain-language description instead of filters. Shipped as an API and an MCP server — so somebody else's ATS suddenly knows how to search people.

Software for sports clubs

Paddle Club OS

liveportfolio project: Paddle Battle Club

The operating system of a padel club: a site with CRM and intake, a Telegram bot with admins wired in, court-load tracking, a content plan driven by that load, and a corporate offer that tracks who opened it.

Media kit Work in progress.
Ad placements A list of spots and ideas. Monthly rotating towel sponsors is still at the idea stage.
Paddle Battle Club — the courts the system runs on. Court load is the input the content plan is built from.

It decomposes a task and hunts the leading solution for each part: GitHub open source → products → and if there are none or they are absurdly priced, how to build it yourself and which services you would need. Recursively, until the ideal.

Outside the work

Road trips and camping are my meditation.

Three ways in


investor / partnership

Three questions, then me

Not a form. Three taps that tell me which conversation we are about to have — and then a direct line.

Answers stay in this tab. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored — the questions exist to pick the right first sentence, not to collect you.

mentorship / consulting

From $100 an hour

Product, go-to-market, or how to actually ship with AI instead of talking about it. HSE startup mentor; fourteen years of launches to argue from.

Name your slot

Booking and payment run through me in Telegram for now — a checkout page is next, and I would rather have the first conversation than a working payment widget.

direct / no pitch needed

Just write

The shortest route. Telegram is read first; everything else is public and open.

Same four links sit in the chip at the corner of every screen, so you never have to scroll back here.
