Hello, I'm Alex Vakhitov, a London-based entrepreneur passionate about innovation. In this newsletter, I'll share my experiences in startups, mindset shifts for success, and balancing parenthood with business.
The Early Years
My journey as an entrepreneur began with curiosity and a drive to create change. Launching several businesses early taught me critical lessons about growth, resilience, and adapting to constant change. These experiences formed the foundation of my passion for building and scaling products, even in the face of failure.
The CloudKB Era
In 2015, I co-founded Cloud KB Limited and developed our flagship product, uMESH, to address IT challenges in the energy sector. Despite facing technical hurdles, our resilience led to a successful acquisition by Correla in 2022.
The Correla Transition
After the acquisition, I transitioned into a Product Architect role at Correla. I focused on integrating our solutions and accelerating digital transformation in energy data services. Now, I’m onto my next venture, running a new company in stealth mode, ready to take on the next chapter in my entrepreneurial journey.
