- Looking for in YBC:
- I joined YBC to find a new circle of friends. After moving and going through significant changes in my life, my previous social circle was left behind, and a new one had not yet had a chance to form. So it’s important to me to find people with similar values and interests. I’m interested in talking not only about business, but also about hobbies, lifestyle, and personal development.

Potapov Andrii Pavlovych
- Business field:
- We specialize in recruitment: sourcing top specialists, primarily for engineering roles, as well as targeted mass hiring. A separate area of focus is recruiting foreign workers for Ukraine and Europe.
- Company:
- PPower
- Business size:
- YBC
- Marital status:
- I’m married and have two wonderful kids, two boys, five and three years old.
- Looking for in YBC:
- Above all, a strong community. What Andrii has built is a truly vibrant club. Not a formal community where people simply “belong,” but a place for lively conversation and genuine interaction. That means a lot to me, because in everyday life I probably wouldn’t have met many of these people. I don’t even have Instagram, and I don’t actively follow anyone on social media. Here, though, I have the chance to connect with people directly.

- YBC Wise
- Marital status:
- Married
- Looking for in YBC:
- I’m in YBC for the community and professional connections. It’s important to me to talk with people who are stronger than I am in specific fields and can offer insights to help my business grow. Even when I come to a meeting without any expectations, I often get ideas that I later share with my team and put into practice. I’m not just looking for experience—I’m looking for people who can share something I don’t yet know or haven’t figured out for myself. One two-hour meeting with like-minded people at the club can save you several months of work and implementation. Before coming up with something and putting it into practice, you can always ask in the group chat, and in many cases people will help you.
