Nikolai Strakh is Marketing Director at Homestead Road, where he leads the marketing function across strategy, brand, demand generation, content, and team development. His focus is building a marketing organization that compounds — durable systems over one-off campaigns, brand and performance run as one motion rather than opposing teams.

He is also the founder of Tech Flow, a community and events platform for Russian-speaking founders, engineers, designers, and investors based in the United States. Tech Flow has run 50 events across 5 cities and supports a paid membership of 500, built because the people in this network kept finding each other one introduction at a time.

He writes about community building, marketing for early-stage companies, and what crossing from operator to builder actually teaches you. He is based in the United States.
