Yev Rachkovan

Co-founder & CTO at Scrimmage (Techstars 2022)

Started working in IT from age of 18. Left my corporate job to join an Early Stage startup. Since that time I went through YCombinator startup School, Techstars Accelerator, and joined a startup as a co-founder and CTO.


In my free time, I am helping other founders to validate their ideas. What is differentiating me is my ability to execute ideas quickly and that is what I teach in my courses.


I’m building this course because I wanna prove to the world that building products are quick and easy. If you’re a software developer who wants to build a pet project or even start a startup then this course is for you.
