Backstory

Anton Shulke started his livestream by chance. After obtaining his Phd in Mathematic at Moscow State university, Anton moved first to the UK, then Spain running multiple companies including a bank, a cocktail bar and an Internet Café. By 2015 he had moved to Ukraine and was teaching English and Spanish… one of his students worked for Webpromo, a Ukranian digital marketing agency who had driven a lot of business through Russian language webinars. Anton joined their team, and produced over 100 livestream events before being head-hunted by Semrush. And the rest, as they say, is history.
