DMYTRO KRIHER — OUTSTANDING EXPERT OF 2026 IN THE NOMINATION “AI-DRIVEN STRATEGIES FOR GROWTH AND SCALPING OF STARTUPS” ACCORDING TO THE UKRAINIAN BUSINESS AWARD

Dmytro Kriher is a growth-focused technologist and entrepreneur working at the intersection of product, marketing, and data. He is the Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of Raisi, an AI-native fundraising platform built to help startup founders raise capital faster and with far less manual effort. In under nine months, Dmytro helped grow Raisi to $1M in ARR, working closely with more than 100 founders and supporting over $500M in active fundraising on the platform.

Dmytro’s career is rooted in engineering. With a background in computer science and full-stack development, he understands how products are built before thinking about how they grow. This technical foundation shaped his approach to growth: practical, data-driven, and tightly connected to the product itself. Over the years, he has led growth and marketing at multiple technology companies. At Otherweb, he helped scale the product to millions of users and led the growth strategy for an equity crowdfunding campaign that raised $2.9M. At Scribematic, he built the entire growth system from scratch, taking the company from zero to $264K in ARR in a matter of months.

Alongside full-time leadership roles, Dmytro worked as an independent growth marketer, ranking in the top 3% on Upwork and collaborating with 32 companies across different stages and industries. He has built multiple products himself, one reaching 700 beta users, another evolving directly into what is now Raisi. His work consistently focuses on solving real problems, testing ideas quickly, and turning insights into repeatable systems.

Dmytro is also active in education and knowledge sharing. He has spoken as a guest lecturer at the University of San Francisco, sharing practical insights on growth, product strategy, and startup execution with marketing and business students. Known for his clear thinking and hands-on approach, he developed an original growth propagation metric to better evaluate how growth initiatives compound over time.

Today, Dmytro continues to work with founders at the earliest and most critical stages of company building. His impact lies not only in revenue numbers, but in helping teams move faster, make better decisions, and build products that can grow sustainably in competitive markets.
