Aleksei Beliankin
Founder of LFCarry. I build autonomous AI systems that do real operating work.
I started what is now LFCarry — a marketplace where people hire skilled players to coach them or play alongside them — and ran it for about a decade. It went through Y Combinator in the Winter 2020 batch. Forbes Russia named me to its 30 Under 30 list in 2021.
For the last three years my actual work has been narrower and stranger than "founder": I build fleets of autonomous AI agents and put them in production against jobs that used to need people. Not demos. Systems that talk to customers, price things, catch mistakes, and write their own post-mortems when they get something wrong.
What that looks like in practice
- A research pipeline that enriched 13,733 profiles, each one spending forty or more tool calls before it wrote a word — built to brief hackathon organisers on who was walking through the door.
- A fleet of specialist agents running a live marketplace: customer conversations, pricing, catalogue integrity, payouts, outbound. Each one keeps its own written record of what it learned and what it got wrong.
- Research instruments rather than research: reusable prompts and verification harnesses, so the same investigation can be run again by someone else and produce the same answer.
How I work
Every claim carries a source and a class — fact, inference, or reported. Every absence claim carries its denominator, because "nobody has covered this" is the easiest sentence in the world to get wrong. And the findings that fail get written down next to the ones that survive, because a method you cannot watch fail is not a method.

The last line is here on purpose. My name has been transliterated several ways over the years, and a person is easier to resolve when the variants are stated rather than inferred.
Writing
- The Mack Inquiry — Harvard investigated a tenured Pulitzer winner over the content of his research, and the committee's own chairman called it unprecedented in print. A documented story, with the two pitches I had to kill first.
