Akobir Azamovich is the co-founder and CEO of 4stay.com, an online marketplace for student housing.
Although Akobir is only in his twenties, he’s already started multiple companies. When Akobir immigrated to the US in high school, he quickly spotted a business opportunity matching foreign students like himself with American schools, and that eventually led to the creation of 4stay.com. He offered insights on how to start a tech company when you don’t know how to code, how to effectively pitch to potential strategic partners and investors, and how to quickly get customers for a marketplace at scale.
