Community & Education Advisor | EdTech & Web3
Hey, welcome to my profile :) I’m Dasha, I’ve been working with EdTech products for a while as a Product Lead and now as a first-time founder. I like pivoting my career so this year I turned into a Community builder at a Web3 startup. Also about to launch my first podcast (about Web3 marketing). I’m passionate about startups, education, communities, and mentorship. I’m using my experience in education, marketing, and Web3 to drive community-led growth and build community-based products, both as an entrepreneur and as a consultant. I've been mentoring people for a few years helping to accelerate their careers. Happy to share my experience with EdTech products and Web3 communities. Let's chat about the things you need help with or just connect and network. Just shoot me a message :)
I've built 4 teams from scratch (30+ people in total) and mentored my team members to grow into team and project leaders (7+ people in total). I've also come my way from being a miserable destructive boss to knowing how to build good relationship with teammates.
I worked a lot with acquisition and funnels for EdTech products, coordinating the efforts of sales and marketing teams to grow the revenue. Happy to look at your funnel together and help you figure out the improvements to try.
