Speakers
Alex Golimbievsky
Growth Coach | Partner, ExitStudio
A serial entrepreneur and investor who has built four technology companies. The first two were hard failures. The next two became 7- and 8-figure acquisitions. He has coached hundreds of founders and is a repeat coach and judge on The Blox - the entrepreneurial reality series streaming on Prime Video.
Alex helps entrepreneurs focus on three things that drive outsized outcomes: achieving true product-market fit, discovering scalable growth channels and revenue strategies, and building the right team through strong hiring, interviewing, and leadership systems.
Kanishka Wanninayaka
CEO, YAMU Media | Founder, ExitStudio
A serial entrepreneur who builds profitable, performance-driven businesses across D2C, services, and SaaS. His approach is shaped by a non-traditional journey, from growing up in rural Sri Lanka, to living in Dubai, to building companies in New York, giving him a grounded, global view of value creation.
He is also the founder and CEO of a revenue-share performance marketing firm built on aligned incentives, and the founder of ExitStudio, a holding company that acquires and scales profitable D2C, service, and SaaS businesses with strong fundamentals and clean exit paths.
Kanishka has invested in and advised multiple companies and is a repeat coach and judge on The Blox on Prime Video. Everything he builds is filtered through one thesis: build companies that positively impact humanity for the next thousand years.
