Because Oleg Golynker never stops. After his previous company’s mind-blowing Nasdaq IPO, he started all over from the very beginning, as innovators and serial entrepreneurs are prone to do, and founded Trueli start-up, an app that seamlessly organizes your digital clutter into meaningful memories and exchanges them with people who you’re with in real life. You live your life. The app does the rest.When asked what drove him to build Trueli, Oleg said “I’ve witnessed the birth of smartphones 15+ years ago and how easy they made taking photos.
