# Maksim Belyakov > Maksim Belyakov — entrepreneur and founder of Sailet. Experience in technology, education and social projects. Joint projects, products and business development. Canonical website: https://belmax.pro English: https://belmax.pro Spanish: https://belmax.pro/es Russian: https://belmax.pro/ru Kazakh: https://belmax.pro/kk Updated: 2026-10-01 ## Identity and current role Name: Maksim Belyakov (also Maxim Belyakov, Максим Беляков, Max Bel). Entrepreneur. From Kazakhstan · Based in Buenos Aires. My path began in IT education. Then came Sailet, Helpcenter and an international Web3 venture. Today I focus on business development and partnerships. I want to meet people to work on client projects, create products and build businesses with teams that can run them. My focus is business development, key relationships and choosing new directions. The Sailet team handles software development and project delivery. Our own products and new companies are the next stage. I want to develop our own products and new companies under the Sailet name. That is the next stage; today Sailet’s core is software development and automation. ## Direction I enjoy meeting people who know their field and see an opportunity to do more together. Here are a few ways a conversation could start. ### 01: Clients and joint projects You work with businesses and see a problem that needs technology. We can explore a joint project: you understand the client and their context; Sailet contributes the technical solution and delivery. ### 02: An industry problem worth solving You know a problem that comes up across companies, and people who need it solved. I would like to explore the demand together and see whether a solution could become a product. ### 03: Building a business together You have grown a product, team or sales operation and want to build your next business with a partner. I would like to meet and discuss what we could develop together and how we would share responsibility. ### 04: An existing product or business You already have a product and customers, and your next step calls for a technology or business partner. I’m open to discussing where my experience and relationships could help. My involvement would depend on the situation. ## Track record ### Sailet 70+ projects. I founded Sailet in 2017. At first, I handled sales and marketing myself, bringing in designers and developers for individual projects. Today the company builds business software and automates processes. My role is business development, key partnerships and new directions. Source: https://sailet.pro/ ### Helpcenter 1,000+ families supported. We launched a free service connecting families in need with people willing to help. More than a thousand families received support through Helpcenter. The Sailet team later automated the application workflow. Instead of relying only on email and messaging, the service gained an application form and an interface for its operators.

I worked on a startup in an emerging market, with a different kind of uncertainty from client software work. This was a separate chapter in my entrepreneurial experience. The investment belongs to that venture, not to Sailet’s current business. ### Education came first From teaching to technology. Before Sailet, I taught and held a leadership role in IT education. Later, I returned through college automation projects and research into AI in hiring. Education remains part of my work: from discussions about preparing IT professionals to the ways technology changes learning and work. ## Published perspective You may not need custom software If an existing product solves the problem, custom software may be unnecessary. First, test the idea, the process and people’s willingness to pay. That is the subject of my Bluescreen column.
