Kanstantsin is a serial entrepreneur with expertise in online retail. As an owner of several eCommerce sites, he identified with the pain that retailers went through when spending hours on competitor monitoring and the lack of viable solutions on the market. Two years ago he started to develop a scalable technology with a vision to monitor an unlimited number of products against an unlimited number of competitors. This technology platform grew into Profitero and today it is now a commercial product helping retailers track their products against their competitors. As the product now surpasses the monitoring of over 28 million products, it probably helps that Kanstantsin has a degree with distinction in Software Engineering.
