Anna Belova is a repeat tech founder who has consistently turned emerging technologies into globally scaled businesses. She built and scaled AR products for children to more than 15 million units sold across 70-plus countries, created platforms used by hundreds of thousands of users and Fortune 500 companies, and was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 for that work.
One experience shaped her early. As a child learning violin, she was told she had no musical ear. Within a few years she was performing a Vivaldi concerto as a soloist with a full orchestra. The lesson stayed: ignore perceived limitations, and focus on disciplined execution until the results change what people expect of you.
That mindset has defined how she builds companies. She is drawn to turning difficult or unconventional ideas into scalable systems — whether through new distribution models, enterprise partnerships, or now AI systems that can fundamentally change how businesses grow and operate.
OpenWay AI is an AI growth hacker that turns business data into a continuous loop of experiments driving customer acquisition and revenue. She validated the demand the hard way, through 350 customer development interviews, before building toward it.
The result is a company that secured its distribution before its monetization — a sequence most founders attempt in reverse.
