Mikado was born in Minsk. At the age of 19 he went to the USA under the Work and Travel program, where he worked at various jobs and at the same time studied remotely at a Belarusian university.
In 2011 he returned to Belarus and together with his friend Sergey Borisyuk founded the startup Quote Roller.
By 2013, the startup grew into PandaDoc – a cloud-based document management service with a client base of over 3000 companies.
In 2013, Mikado moved to San Francisco, where he managed to raise $5 million in investment from companies like Kima Ventures, Altair Capital, and Fabrice Grinda. By 2015, PandaDoc had 16 employees working in the Minsk office and 14 in San Francisco.
In 2017, PandaDoc raised $15 million in another round of investment from Rembrandt Ventures Partners, Microsoft Ventures, HubSpot, EBRD and Altos Ventures.
In the same 2017, Mikita’s company became a resident of the Belarusian High Technology Park (HTP). Since then, PandaDoc has achieved unprecedented growth of more than 60 percent per year. Although PandaDoc still has an office and developers in Belarus, the majority of PandaDoc’s operations are now based in San Francisco, USA.
In 2020, Mikado starred in Yuri Dudya’s documentary “How the IT Capital of the World Works.” After its release, Mikado gained popularity among Russian-speaking Internet users and especially young people from the IT sphere. He quickly gained an audience and became a public figure, participating in more and more events and interviews.
In 2021, PandaDoc raised a new round of funding with a $1 billion valuation.
