EP 53. How To Build, Run & Grow A Startup with Roman Grigoriev from Splento

Welcome back to The HUSTLR Podcast. Today - I have a very experienced serial founder, Roman Grigoriev joining us on the show today.

Entrepreneurship is part of Roman's DNA. Roman never switches off his creative ideas and his relentless hunger to see them realized. It’s what led to his inclusion in the BBC’s Rich, Russian and Living in London as a service provider (despite not being Russian).

Fluent in 3 languages, Roman’s drive has led to the successful exit of two companies to date, and to his current business Splento, a successful visual content company operating in 37 countries and 263 cities.

Over 17 years of entrepreneurship, Roman has:
