Victoria Duben grew up in a small town in Russia, with probably the highest rate of scientists per square meter… Most of them played tennis. That’s no doubt why she decided to pursue professional tennis as her first career!

Though, her predestined love for science would catch up with her later on: at 15 Victoria quit professional tennis to focus on her studies and graduated from Moscow State University with a Master's Degree in Physics. Then she spent nearly 10 years in Finance - at a hedge fund and in a brokerage, where she learned to evaluate different classes of assets, trade, build connections and sell.

At the age of 32, Victoria helped a friend raise funds to develop his idea - and that’s what triggered her new trajectory as a startup founder… which she considers her true destiny. She quit Finance and moved to the US and learned everything she could about startups. Victoria became obsessed with creating products and building a company.

She founded Viewst in November 2019 and it has since been her relentless passion and dream - to build a service, to help thousands of marketers and business owners to enjoy their work and deliver great results.
