Malik Saidov

Malik is a seasoned operator who built, scaled, and sold a B2B worktech startup that reached $100M+ in ARR and was later acquired by Atlassian. With a background in distributed systems, developer tools, and product-led growth, Malik brings a pragmatic, lived-in perspective to company building — from zero to scale.

He spent years managing globally distributed engineering teams before becoming a founder, and he remains deeply fluent in the kinds of technical decisions, GTM trade-offs, and culture-building challenges early teams face.

At VentureCapital, Malik leads investments in the Future of Work — including productivity tools, automation infrastructure, knowledge management, and labor-market platforms. He works closely with founders on async operating models, scalable onboarding, product strategy, and pricing. His advice is sharp, honest, and always anchored in the long-term.
