WELCOME

Basically, I start things, fix things, and occasionally throw money at things — ideally in that order.
Mixed results, excellent stories

BIOGRAPHY
I’m Alexander Voskoboinikov — entrepreneur, fintech advisor, and founder of startups you’ve probably never heard of, unless you’re exceptionally well-informed or have an unhealthy obsession with payment systems. I craft IT solutions and payment services that help companies scale faster than a Silicon Valley intern’s ego — all while keeping one eye on innovation and the other on the ever-elusive goal of “adaptation to modern technologies,” whatever that may mean this fiscal quarter.
As an advisor, I specialize in helping startups and entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls — like running out of money, or worse, relevance. My superpower? I know people who know people. Whether it’s finding the right team or the right door to knock on, I connect the dots that others don’t even see.
In 2022, I relocated with my family to Cyprus — not just for the sun, though it helps — but to focus on international projects that actually matter. Currently, I lead Cinema5 Holdings, a company boldly navigating the high seas of fintech and payment solutions. Our crew includes Mayflower (USA), experts in clearing services; uDelta (USA), who make payouts for distributed teams less of a headache; and Deltaplan payments (Canada), a fintech startup so legit it’s regulated by FINTRAC as a Money Service Business. That’s right, we’re not just playing the game — we’re playing it by the rules.
Also on my radar: Mystic Jade, a game publishing outfit zeroed in on Russian-speaking markets, with boots on the ground in China and Russia. We specialize in making sure games not only reach their audience, but conquer them — think less “casual gaming” and more “strategic dominance.”

Investments and Startup Support

BoomerangMe— A loyalty program platform that helps small businesses in the U.S. build stronger relationships with their customers through digital rewards and seamless engagement.

GALGO — A fintech company dedicated to making motorcycle financing more accessible across Latin America, helping individuals achieve greater mobility and economic opportunity.
In short: I invest because curiosity is expensive — and I’m willing to pay for it.
I invest in startups because — full disclosure — I still have money, but no new ideas of my own. Also, I’m genuinely curious about certain markets, and investing is a convenient excuse to ask nosy questions and stay in the loop. Sometimes I invest because I find the people interesting — whether it’s the founders or other investors — and money, in that case, is just my way of saying, “Hi, let’s talk.”

I invest in people, not ideas — because ideas are free, but competent execution is a unicorn.

So yes, I bring capital, strategy, and the occasional awkwardly timed joke — but mostly, I invest to learn, to connect, and to be part of something that (hopefully) doesn’t involve a pitch deck with a slide titled “Go-To-Market Strategy” in Comic Sans.

Here are some of the ventures I’ve supported:

ACHIEVMENTS

01

As a co-founder of the online tipping platform ChaChaChai, I had the opportunity to partner with Samokat, one of the largest food delivery services in Russia. At its peak, the platform facilitated tips for up to 60,000 couriers — which is roughly the population of a small city, all connected by gratitude (and smartphones).

It was a crash course in scale, speed, and the fine art of making sure money goes to the right person with the fewest possible clicks

LATEST PROJECTS

Present
Role: co-founder
I’m also involved in Mystic Jade, a game publishing company focused on Russian-speaking markets, with operations in China and Russia — because even fintech people need to have fun, and ideally, monetize it. We deliver tailored solutions to help mobile games reach their audience, grow strategically, and actually make money — without resorting to dancing cats or loot box drama (most of the time).

It’s business, but with lasers, swords, and a loyal player base.

Cinema5 HOLDINGS (Cyprus, it solutions for marketing)
Present
Role: owner, founder
At Cinema5 holdings, I run a holding company that does a bit of everything — and does it well. On one hand, we develop fintech and payment solutions for a range of industries (because someone has to make sense of global payments). On the other, Cinema5 holdings operates as a marketing agency, delivering high-quality traffic, solid conversion rates, and lead processing that doesn’t end in a black hole.

We also create our own content projects to generate traffic — because why rent an audience when you can build your own? All of this operates under the Cinema5 holdings umbrella, combining practical tech with results-driven marketing — and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
I didn’t set out to be a mentor — it just happened somewhere between startup chaos and inbox overload. Over time, I’ve come to enjoy helping other entrepreneurs make sense of their journey: sharing real experience, asking tough (but helpful) questions, and thinking through the next step before the problem lands on your desk.
I’ve built and led teams of 100+ people, managed over $10 million in monthly revenue, and — more importantly — steered businesses through tough times, crises, and all the delightful surprises reality throws at founders. And I’m proud to say: the team stayed intact, and we made it through.

I’m always learning from other entrepreneurs, and I’m glad to share what I’ve learned from both successes and hard-earned lessons.

ADVISORY
After years in fintech, payment systems, and startup life, I offer practical, not theoretical, advice. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to get your business to stop “pivoting” every three months, I can help.
But here’s the truth: my biggest value isn’t just experience — it’s network. I know people who know people, and there’s always someone I can call, ask, or bring in for the right solution. Add to that years of entrepreneurial experience — meaning, I’ve been in plenty of situations I probably shouldn’t have been in, and I’ve gotten out of them with the business intact and my dignity more or less preserved.

If you’re looking for insight, connections, and the kind of advice that’s earned, not theorized — I’m here for that.
COLLABORATIONS
If you're looking for consultation in fintech products or want to explore the possibility of working together, there are several ways to collaborate with me:
PARTNERSHIPS
I believe I’m a good partner — not because I say so, but because experience tends to reveal what actually matters in business. I know how to listen — really listen — to other people’s ideas, take responsibility for my words and actions, and stay calm when things don’t go as planned (because, spoiler: they often don’t).

I also know when to push forward, when to stop, and when it’s time to sell — because in any business, sooner or later, you’ll need one or all of these skills. I’ve learned to value resilience over hype and results over noise — and I bring that mindset into every partnership.
