Garik Goldsheyd
@garikgoldsheyd
Operator-led founder scaling software platforms to profitable exits.
What I'm looking for
I am an operator and founder with a decade-plus track record building, scaling, and exiting bootstrapped software businesses while leading cross-functional, fully remote teams to drive product, monetization, and growth. I founded and scaled TheoremReach to $30M+ lifetime revenue, negotiated a successful acquisition, and now lead audience strategy and monetization at RIWI Corp.
I combine product strategy, growth monetization, and operational rigor — implementing EOS, OKRs, and decentralized workflows to scale teams and revenue efficiently. My achievements include ranking on the Inc. 5000, delivering rapid ARR at UserWise.io, negotiating multimillion-dollar partnerships, and driving business units to contribute meaningful revenue post-acquisition.
