Ilya Druzhnikov

Serial founder focused on rapid, evidence-driven discovery: Ilya has built companies and services that compress long go‑to‑market learning cycles into short, testable experiments. TruePMF (which he co‑founded) runs tightly-targeted outbound experiments (cold calls, transcript analysis, iterative pitches) to determine product‑market fit in days rather than months. libsyn+2

Operator with a sales-acceleration and outbound background: earlier ventures (ConnectAndSell and Panop) and his work at TruePMF show an emphasis on mastering outreach mechanics — list building, dialers, persona testing, and messaging — then teaching founders to run those plays themselves. clay+1

Experience building physical and experiential products: as a co‑founder of Exit Reality he has operated in location-based VR and event activations, demonstrating experience beyond pure software into product/experience design and field deployment. bizjournals

Angel / early-stage investor and advisor: public profiles describe him as an early-stage investor across multiple B2B verticals, positioning him as both a founder/operator and an investor who helps other startups find PMF. clay+1
