Software engineer, founder, and community leader.

I’m Ruslan, a software engineer and founder from Kyiv. I lead Ukrainian Startups 🇺🇦, a community empowering founders to learn, grow, and build the future.

A developer from Kyiv created a mix of a social network and a task tracker: how the AI ​​application Mastermindy works, where people can develop and achieve goals together

Developer Ruslan Hladchenko created Mastermindy, an AI-based app where people can connect around common interests and work together to achieve common goals. For example, prepare for Java certification together, set goals, track progress, and all this in a social network format. Ruslan told dev.ua how Mastermindy transformed from Google Sheets in 2021 to an AI platform in 2025.

The best first-time founder communities to join in Europe

Ukrainian Startups is a Telegram channel to support Ukrainian founders. It hosts active discussions on startup topics, shares Ukrainian startup news via a dedicated news bot and on a weekly basis it pairs people up (via a Telegram Bot) to expand their network. It also brings in representatives from accelerators.
