About

I'm Ivan Ivanka, the Founder and CEO of Markster. I’ve spent my life building and exiting businesses—from starting my first venture at age eight to generating over $300M in B2B pipeline for various companies. Currently, I’m obsessed with 'ScaleOS' and using agentic AI to help founders step out of the daily grind. At Markster, I proved the model by hitting $1M in revenue in just six months with zero full-time employees, powered entirely by 59 AI agents. I’m deeply embedded in the San Francisco tech scene, where I host coffee omakases and founder mixers. I’m here to connect with distribution partners and fellow builders who want to replace outdated, human-heavy systems with high-performance AI architecture. If you're looking to systemize your growth or talk frontier AI, let's chat.

Opinions

Amateurs hustle, pros systemize.
Traditional human-heavy agencies are inefficient and lack ROI.
AI will totally disrupt white-collar industries; no patience for work-life balance during this transition.
If a company runs on the founder's effort, it cannot scale.
