The DTwo Blog

Hello, I’m Denis Knjazihhin, founder of DTwo. For this very first post, I want to clearly outline the blog’s purpose: why we are launching it and what we aim to achieve.

#product

This blog will, of course, be centered on the DTwo platform. We are building a product that allows organizations to securely connect AI workflows to their internal data and systems.

You can expect regular updates as we move through beta and general availability releases, continually adding new features and capabilities. This space will be your primary source for all new releases and product announcements.

#culture

Every start-up develops a unique culture. It’s a dynamic blend created by the people who work here, their shared experiences, and how they choose to collaborate.

Throughout my start-up career, I’ve actively fostered a certain style and culture. While I hope DTwo inherits many of those elements, I recognize that it may well evolve into its own distinct identity. Regardless of how our culture develops, I believe it’s important to acknowledge it and it’s fun to share the journey of building our culture with the rest of the world.

#journey

My personal start-up immersion began in 2007 with BladeLogic. Since then, my path has included Aveksa, building an internal start-up (“Alpha Project”) for Cisco, co-founding Genie Life Sciences, and now launching DTwo.

Each of these ventures has been a unique adventure, filled with its share of triumphs and inevitable hurdles. I’ve been through this cycle many times, and I frequently chat about my experiences with friends, many of whom worked with me at those same companies. We often analyze what strategies paid off and where we stumbled. However, none of us ever took the time to write about our journeys while they were fresh in our minds, capturing the moment before hindsight colored our perspective.

This time, as we build DTwo from the ground up, I’m excited to blog about the process in real-time. I sincerely hope other members of the DTwo team will contribute their voices and unique perspectives as well.

#tech

At our core, we are a team of passionate technologists dedicated to innovative solution building. Every time we embark on this “zero-to-one” journey of creating something new, the landscape has shifted. There are always new tools, frameworks, and approaches that promise to make product development faster, better, and stronger.

As we architect our new technology stack, we will try to share our decision-making process, technical experiences, and the lessons we learn along the way.

We look forward to revisiting this post in the future and evaluating whether the DTwo blog fulfilled its original vision or evolved into something entirely new.

Stay tuned for our next update!
