Buffering

Valeri Potchekailov was born in Ghent, Belgium in the late 1990s. Even throughout childhood, Valeri showed true signs of independence, smarts, and leadership skills. He was regarded as being very clever and calculating. His smooth-talking charisma drew everyone on his side, and he filled the atmosphere with positive energy in every room he entered. Valeri had promising eyes and a smile for everyone.

During elementary school, Valeri and his parents discovered that he had brains for logistics. Languages and calculus were acquired with ease, making Valeri stand out from the crowd.

Throughout his adolescence, like most of his peers, Valeri grew fascinated by the internet. This mesmerizing device that opened doors to the wide world was his source of inspiration and admiration. Valeri could not fathom how a single machine could contain so much content, and it was his mission to find out one day. He was also very temperamental during his adolescent years but stayed true to his word, that someday he will reach the top. In 2005, relying on his talent for calculating, Valeri enrolled at the Ghent Institute, focusing his talent and skills on economics and languages.

Years went by like pages in the wind, and Valeri decided to continue his schooling at the Ghent University where he would also master Economics in 2008. After finishing his dues to achieve a college degree, Valeri was ready to turn his sights into bigger projects, something that he could accomplish by himself without the advice of others.

Valeri went back to his roots and remembered that his first love was always computers and technology, so he started to enrich his impressive portfolio by studying cross-media design at the University of Ghent. During his days of perfecting multimedia design, Valeri decided to venture into a new field, something that will suit him and his character. Valeri entered the exciting realm of entrepreneurship.

Growth

In 2009, Valeri Potchekailov dipped his toes into the field of businesses and started a company called RWS. RWS was his time to sit at the top of the field of multimedia design in Belgium. The company existed as a communications agency, which dealt with combining offline &online media. The country hadn’t seen something like that before. Valeri managed to accomplish his step towards fulfilling his dream while still building his impressive resumé.

A year after becoming an owner of a multimedia design company, Valeri still did not plan to stop climbing the stairs to stellar success. He believed that he was destined to create even bigger things and switched his focus on a different project. While balancing working as both an entrepreneur and a student, Valeri worked at companies like Mitsubishi, UGent, Fracarita, and other marketing giants. He used this opportunity to gather all the needed information in advance and learned from others' mistakes. This period was crucial for Valeri, as even though he had one company under his belt, he eagerly looked forward to bigger opportunities.

In 2012, Valeri finally kissed his schooling years goodbye, holding an impressive diploma with a maximum score for Graphic Design. His degree opened even more doors that were previously closed, but with an outstanding resumé like his, Valeri drew respect from others. A year after graduating, Valeri joined forces with other creators to form ‘RWS&ZEN’. His previous media design company was now a creative house that dealt with all-around branding and marketing strategies.

Upward Spiral

Valeri’s business journey did not end with him joining other creatives. His ideas went far beyond what RWS offered. Valeri’s interests leaned more towards production and distribution. He wanted to get his ideas on the global market independently, and what better way to do it than through the internet.

In 2016, Valeri co-founded Sugar, a digital and branding agency that helped executives communicate better with their clients, online and offline. This is the period when Valeri also started to work on an even bigger project, something that will include everything the previous companies have offered, and more.

After years of dabbling in the field of business, and after establishing a name for himself, Valeri went for the kill when he founded StoryChief in 2017, in Ghent, Belgium. StoryChief was another project that Valeri nurtured in his mind throughout the years. Valeri just needed the world to be ready.

StoryChief is the perfect marketing and creative tool for companies that need to rely on quick production and distribution of their content. The company works with a universal editor that aids in the publication, publishing, creation, and distribution process of quality content.

With StoryChief, creators can place their stories on their website and accelerated mobile webpages like Apple News, Instant Articles, Google AMP, and Facebook.

The Chief of Stories

A year after its launch, in 2017, Valeri’s previous company Sugar became a part of StoryChief. This was a strategic move to have StoryChief offer numerous options for users. If content creation is not their cup of tea, then StoryChief can offer distribution to a wide variety of channels, thus doubling the exposure of the company.

At first, the company was met with great distrust. The word about a new marketing powerhouse was not yet spread across Belgium, and Valeri did doubt himself, as well. Even though he tried his mightiest to be accurate, collective, predictive, and precautious, StoryChief was at a momentary standstill.

The quiet period for StoryChief did not last long as in 2018, Valeri hit his first successful milestone. In September 2018, StoryChief raised €1M coming from 4 investors. This meant a sigh of relief for Valeri, as StoryChief was slowly dominating the online marketing industry.

2019 brought even more pleasant surprises, as in October of 2019, the company raised another €100K from Peak. This meant that the good word about StoryChief was spreading like wildfire, garnering a whole lot of recognition.

Another stroke of luck came in 2019 when StoryChief raised another €1M from Peak. With this final round, StoryChief became even more capable of helping businesses create proper and quality content.

StoryChief, Today

Valeri is the current founder and CEO of StoryChief. The company is still located in Valeri’s native Gent in Belgium. Over the years, StoryChief had amassed more than 11 employees who work tirelessly on providing the best content creation tools known to men. StoryChief plans on expanding across the globe, with many more options, aiming at the highest ranks of Google.

But, before securing its place among the big players in the content and media industry, StoryChief had to make sure to stand tall and strong in the face of the competition. Competitors like Semrush, ContentStudio, G2 Deals, and Hootsuite among others, didn’t make it easy for Valeri’s StoryChief to be where it is today.

Currently, the company uses 38 exclusive technology products like HTML5, jQuery, and Google Analytics, among many more. The website is built to perfection thanks to 59 technologies like BuiltWith, iPhone, and Viewport Meta.
