Alexey Gubarev: Building a Company That Doesn’t Need Its Founder

|
By Alexey Gubarev
| The European Business Review Verified
The World Management Survey has now scored management in more than 13,000 firms across over 35 countries. In every country it covers, family firms score significantly lower, and those that hand the chief executive’s job to a family member score almost a full standard deviation below the rest.

Cyprus Is Now a Tech Hub. Here Is What Is Still Missing.

|
By Alexey Gubarev
| alexeygubarev.substack.com
I moved to Cyprus more than twenty years ago, when it was a wonderful place to live and a quiet place to build technology. That has changed. Thousands of engineers and hundreds of companies have relocated here. Limassol has office towers full of product teams. As a founding member of TechIsland, the island’s largest non-profit technology association, I have had a front-row seat to the shift — and some responsibility for it. So let me be honest about the scorecard. The relocation phase is a success.

By Alexey Gubarev
| IN Business News Verified
Στη Λεμεσό, μόλις το 5% των πιο πυκνοκατοικημένων περιοχών βρίσκεται σε απόσταση έως 300 μέτρων από πάρκο μεγαλύτερο των δύο εκταρίων, ενώ το 76% των κατοίκων που ρωτήθηκαν δεν είναι ικανοποιημένοι με τους χώρους πρασίνου της πόλης. Τα στοιχεία προέρχονται από μελέτη που δημοσιεύθηκε το 2023 στο επιστημονικό περιοδικό Sustainability.

How is social media changing news?

It removed the distance between a primary source and the reader: a founder or an engineer can publish a dataset directly. The cost is that speed beats verification. I try to use it for the first thing and not the second — a number, a source, a chart.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I'm not a reporter and don't take story pitches. If you have original data on AI infrastructure, data centres, consumer health or the Cyprus tech sector, one paragraph and a link by email is enough.

What tools and software do you use to do your job?

A spreadsheet before a sentence. Public data — Eurostat, the KPMG study of the Cyprus tech sector, DCD and Uptime for data-centre costs — plus my own operating numbers from Servers.com and Palta, and many others.
