Founder Chats - Vadim Dedov

Episode notes

Today, we are dropping another episode in our "chats" series, specifically on the Founder side, - hearing from those scaling the companies themselves. In this episode, we are talking with Vadim Dedov , CEO at Catchers . Vadim is going to walk us through what problem he wanted to solve with Catchers, and how his product development journey took him through architectural decisions, product optimization, team building and more. Questions Before we talk about Catchers, I’d love to understand you a bit better. What experiences or responsibilities earlier in your life shaped how you think about work, systems, and accountability today? What problem were you dealing with before Catchers existed? Not as a product idea yet, but as a real operational pain you kept running into. At what point did you realise this couldn’t be solved with people, spreadsheets, or manual coordination anymore and that technology was the only way forward? How did Catchers actually start taking shape as a product? What was the very first version you built, and what did “good enough” mean in a business where mistakes affect people’s income and compliance?
