Tilek Mamutov
Co-Founder & CEO
Back in 2006, when I lived in Kyrgyzstan, I got an email from a Google recruiter. It was so unbelievable, I thought it was a scam.
I found it difficult to prepare and failed to get the job.
I didn't give up. I worked on myself for many months after that, and on my second try, I got the job!
I relocated to Ireland, found myself surrounded by amazing people, and that environment helped me grow.
Now, we want to help millions of people around the world believe in themselves, dream big, and achieve those dreams by working together in a supportive community rather than applying alone.
Where We Come From
Our Founders
In 2007, Tilek Mamutov joined Google, becoming the first publicly known person from Kyrgyzstan to work there. He held analytical, engineering, business, and project management roles across Android, Gmail, Maps, Search, Translate, and YouTube — for Central Asia, the Russian-speaking region, emerging markets, and the world as a whole.
Tilek spent his last few years at Google at Google X: first as a technical program manager on Project Loon, an initiative to bring affordable Internet to emerging markets using stratospheric balloons, and later spinning a machine learning business out of Loon and leading it to its first large enterprise customer.
In 2018, Tilek left Google to start a mentorship program that later became Outtalent. Half a year later, his brother Meder Mamutov joined him, helping the program become an official business, get into Y Combinator, reach its first signed offers, and raise its first round of venture funding.
They were then joined by Ana Ghidelli, who at various stages took responsibility for operations, marketing, business development, and resume, behavioral interview, and salary negotiation coaching.
Our Mission
To help people from all countries believe in themselves, dream big, and achieve their career dreams by working together.
What Drives Us
Our Business Priorities
Excellence
Provide high-quality services in everything we do.
Longevity
Survive and thrive for the longest time, way beyond our lifetimes.
Scale
Help people from all countries and gather an amazing global community.
Speed
Move as fast as healthily possible to see more fruits of our labor.
Our Corporate Structure
We decided to register and grow as a venture-backed startup instead of a traditional private company for two main reasons:
We were inspired by what companies like Airbnb, Google, Spotify, Stripe, Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX accomplished and how they keep growing and thriving.
We wanted to follow a well-established path to lasting global success with amazing investors and mentors who share our vision.
Our Backers
Our Investors
We spent many months looking for investors who share our mission and values. We are very proud of those who decided to get on board.
