Entrepreneurs often speak about growth, innovation, and opportunity. But according to Vladimir Razuvaev, CEO of Yango Tech and Head of Legal at Yango Group, the true entrepreneurial mindset is revealed during moments of uncertainty.

For Razuvaev, uncertainty is not an obstacle—it is simply part of the entrepreneurial environment.

“Entrepreneurs are built for uncertain times,” he says. “Anyone building a company should expect moments when markets shift and the future feels unclear.”

Rather than allowing volatility to distract from long-term goals, Razuvaev believes founders should focus on what has always driven successful businesses: solving real problems.

In his view, the core mission of entrepreneurship remains simple—building products that genuinely improve people’s lives. While external conditions may fluctuate, companies that remain committed to this principle are far more likely to succeed over time.

“The focus should stay on creating products that solve real problems,” he explains. “If you continue improving people’s lives, the value of what you’re building will always remain relevant.”

Razuvaev emphasizes that uncertainty itself is temporary. Economic cycles, geopolitical tensions, and market disruptions inevitably come and go. What endures, however, are solutions that meaningfully address the needs of customers.

For entrepreneurs, this perspective can provide clarity during turbulent moments. Instead of reacting to every shift in the external environment, founders should stay focused on strengthening the products and services they are building.

Great solutions, he notes, have longevity that extends far beyond any short-term instability.

“Uncertainty will pass,” Razuvaev says. “But strong solutions and great products will continue to exist and create value.”

For founders navigating today’s complex global landscape, his advice is straightforward: keep building.

Entrepreneurship has always required persistence, discipline, and long-term thinking. And while the world may move through periods of unpredictability, the entrepreneurs who continue creating meaningful solutions are often the ones who shape the future.
