Andrey Olinov - A Man Who Curates Businesses and Relations Forever
A passionate serial entrepreneur and a progressive & supportive partner to his client businesses, Andrey Olinov, does all that to help maintain a high level of customer service and, thus, works on a limited number of projects.
This GoodFirms interview highlights the success story of Curated Soft Ltd. and info about how Andrey Olinov, the company’s CEO, took it to the next level.
A Canada-based leading software development company, Curated Soft Ltd. was established in 2021. Within two years of establishment, it has earned a loyal customer base and undestroyable goodwill. The company caters to startups and small businesses looking to empower their digital abilities and get practical and efficient transformation.
In a rendezvous with GoodFirms – one of the leading review and rating companies, Andrey Olinov, CEO of Curated Soft Ltd., discusses how the company got into the inception and his responsibilities as a CEO.
Olinov initiates the interview by strongly advocating the importance of maintaining customer service levels in his company. He says that Curated Soft is focused on working for tech startups and operates in a boutique style. They limit their number of projects to deliver quality work and maintain higher levels of customer service. As the company’s CEO, Olinov takes part in each of the projects undertaken to give a delicate touch to his experience.
Mr. CEO proudly admits that Curated Soft is his second company. Earlier, when he was a business development coach for a software development agency in Eastern Europe and was trying to step into the North American market, he discovered that many startups lack the required level of technical and business resources that are much needed to grow in financial distress. Hence, he partnered with his previous client from Eastern Europe to facilitate that quality and exposure at a reasonable price, bringing in Curated Soft Ltd. as his new venture. Today, the company ranks on top position among leading software development ventures worldwide and is recognized as the best software development company in Canada by GoodFirms.
Company's Business Model
Olinov suggests that his team works on the mixed model concept. A few members of their company work in-house on the jobs of internal management and project support etc. On the other hand, the majority of technical resources are outsourced to their partner company.
Why is Curated Soft Different from its Competitors?
As the CEO confirms, Curated Soft works on a lean operation model. As they focus on customer services, their experience mentoring startups and coaching businesses can lead to offering a unique approach and adding value to their clients. The company professionals are very much involved in helping startups have long-term coordination. This is why Curated Soft is called a “fractional technical cofounder” or “fractional CTO” by most of its clients.
Industries Catered and Services Offered at Curated Soft Ltd.
Apart from providing industry-specific services, Curated Soft Ltd. caters to early-stage startup companies. As the CEO claims, their client group appreciates their assistance at the pre-seed and seed round.
Minimal Viable Product Development, Mobile App Development, Website Development, Blockchain Development, and Business Analytics services are offered by the company for which their customers mostly approach them.
Client Satisfaction and Support
As the company works in a boutique fashion, they ensure their clients are 100% satisfied at the end of the project, as the CEO claims.
Payment Structure
Olinov confirms that they mostly follow the Pay Per Milestone model for requesting client payments, where milestones are sometimes regarded as development sprints. Dedicated professionals demonstrate all the project progress at the end of each sprint and send the invoice only if the client approves it.
Curated Soft is well aware of the nature of working with startups and small-level companies and works with them willingly. Olinov seems glad to inform us that the maximum price range of the project undertaken in 2022 was $150,000. In contrast, the minimum amount generated from a project ranges from $10,000. There have been days when sometimes the company has invested its own money.
Future Prospects of Curated Soft Ltd.
As a young company, Curated Soft Ltd. is determined to grow aggressively. Olinov and his team are quite happy about their progress and desperately want to be a go-to agency for early-age startup companies across Canada and the United States.
Here, he concludes the interview on a positive note. The detailed interview can be obtained at the company’s profile page on GoodFirms’ website.
