Why have I created this page?
Several years ago, I secured my personal domain to prevent others from using it—after all, Vasilij Brandt is not a common name. Initially, I had no intention of developing a website, but in 2019, I decided to create a personal page. It wasn’t until late 2021 that it finally went live. What began as a simple online CV has since evolved into a platform for sharing insights.
Through my experience building Blazar Capital and developing our portfolio of brands, I’ve gained valuable entrepreneurial and e-commerce knowledge. Now, I use this space to share practical insights that aspiring entrepreneurs and industry professionals can apply to their own ventures
