Volodymyr Panchenko is a pattern-recognizer who builds infrastructure for futures he sees before they arrive. At 16, growing up in Ukraine, he recognized what the world would take a decade to grasp: digital assets would become as economically real as physical ones. So he started building. He founded Suntechsoft in 2008, which grew into one of the world’s largest private distributors of digital games. In 2016, he launched Skins.Cash, a marketplace with over 20 million annual trades. In 2017, he founded DMarket, a blockchain-based marketplace that raised $19 million in its first hour, grew to 3 million users, processed $6 million monthly in transactions, and was acquired by Mythical Games in 2023.
Today, as CEO and co-founder of Portal AI, Vlad is solving a different kind of future: how to make authentic human connection scalable. Portal AI delivers personalized connection intelligence ahead of every meeting. Business partners, venture capitalists or your friend – you will get to the light speed in communication with Portal.ai.
Vlad doesn’t build products. He builds the infrastructure that makes new economies, and new ways of relating, possible.
