Alex Samoilenko: How One Founder Harnessed Web3 and AI to Build an Empire

How much has Web3 changed the internet?

Built on blockchain, Web3 has promised a decentralised, user-controlled, and transparent online experience. While some debate whether it met these promises, Web3 has challenged old norms and power structures. At its heart, Web3 aims to give users ownership and reshape value exchange.

As Web3 gained traction, artificial intelligence has emerged as another force for change.

Advances in machine learning and natural language processing have opened new possibilities, from automating tasks to enhancing creativity. With AI advancing seemingly every day, experts like Alex, founder of CGS Team (cgsteam.io), help businesses use its potential.

His mission is clear: combine blockchain and AI to empower clients and make these tools part of everyday business.

" [We're] expanding our clients’ powers by making blockchain a new normal. We're implementing innovative tools to create next-gen products and differentiate our clients from competitors," the CGS Team website states.

Here's how Alex and his team aim to do that.

Facing Challenges with Determination

Starting a business is rarely easy.

In the beginning, Alex faced hurdles like finding product-market fit, attracting customers, and ensuring financial stability. Instead of giving up, Alex conducted market research, built prototypes, and created a solid business plan.

He'd emphasise the value of engaging with customers. “By listening to customers, you refine your offerings and learn if they’ll pay for your product,” he says. A fresh perspective on combining theory with practical.

Resource limitations were another challenge.

Alex tackled tasks himself to save costs and stretched every resource. Building a skilled team was also difficult. He focused on thoughtful hiring and brought in experienced managers and HR specialists to create a capable workforce.

"I knew we had to make every penny count, so I tackled tasks myself and stretched every resource.

"Building the right team wasn’t easy, but by carefully selecting people who not only had the right skills but also shared our vision, and bringing in experienced managers and HR specialists, we created a workforce that could really deliver."

Staying Flexible in a Changing Market

Adaptability guided Alex’s approach as he navigated the fast-moving blockchain and AI industries.

He hired developers skilled in various technologies and encouraged flexibility and iteration. This mindset helped his team respond to market shifts and pivot when needed.

"Working in fast-moving industries like blockchain and AI taught me that adaptability is everything. I brought in developers with diverse skill sets and encouraged flexibility and iteration, so we could respond to market shifts and pivot when needed.

"The buzz around Web3 and AI really aligned with our vision at CGS Team—decentralisation, privacy, automation—it all fit. By moving quickly, we positioned ourselves as leaders in this space."

Moving to Web3

Scaling the business brought new challenges, but Alex addressed them with a clear strategy.

He invested in CGS Team’s online presence, improved their website, and maintained their reputation. Every decision focused on sustainable growth.

When asked what set his business apart, Alex said, "One key decision that greatly influenced our business's direction was accelerating the transition from Web2 to Web3." Web3, he explains, offers unique opportunities.

Alex breaks this down into six key points:

• Innovation: Web3 uses blockchain to enable new ideas and keep businesses relevant.
• Trust: Decentralisation improves transparency and security, building trust.
• New Revenue Models: Web3 introduces methods like tokenisation and NFTs for fresh income streams.
• Community Involvement: Web3 encourages user participation through decentralised organisations (DAOs).
• Scalability: Web3 systems integrate easily with other applications, enabling growth.
• User Preferences: Web3 attracts users seeking more control over their data.

Recognising these benefits, Alex committed resources to Web3. This move strengthened CGS Team’s position as an industry leader.

Looking Ahead

Web3 offers a new internet model where users control data and assets. Along with AI, it could transform traditional business models and create new opportunities.

Reflecting on his journey, Alex shares advice: "Perform thorough business analysis before making an investment. By doing so, founders can detect the most profitable niche, one that will provide a great return on investment for an extended period."

Alex’s story proves that those unwilling to adapt and embrace change are destined to fall behind, and we're excited to see what the future holds.
