About Vladislav Smolyanskyy
Vladislav Smolyanskyy was born in Ukraine and grew up under the influence of his self-made entrepreneurial father. While still a child, Vladislav lost his father and the family spiraled into very dark and hard times. In 2006 he and his mother immigrated to Brooklyn, NY where Vlad finally had an opportunity to step into his father's shoes, establish himself as an entrepreneur and bring happiness back to his family.

Feeling alone in a new country Vlad discovered his passion for learning, especially everything related to business. That obsession came in handy when with his friend, at 19 years old; Vladislav quit his job and started his first company within one of the most competitive industries in the country.
