How to build a Unicorn outside the US with AI | Arsen Tomsky, Founder InDrive

How to build a Unicorn outside the US with AI | Arsen Tomsky, Founder InDrive

In this episode of Silicon Valley Girl, Marina Mogilko sits down with Arsen Tomsky, founder and CEO of inDrive - a $1B+ ride-sharing platform with 60 million active users that he built from Yakutsk, one of the coldest cities on Earth.

Arsen shares his wild journey from a stuttering software engineer to global entrepreneur, revealing how he turned a taxi price protest on social media into a billion-dollar company that's taking on monopolies worldwide. He breaks down how to scale a global business on a shoestring budget, why childhood struggles can become your superpower, and the philosophy that completely transformed his life and company.

They also get into what it's like competing against tech giants like Uber, how to fly under the radar while growing fast, and why mission-driven companies are going to dominate in the AI era.
