8 Lessons I learnt or you can learn from Durov’s story on launching his first large company.
- Break Big Tasks into Smaller Steps: Any project, no matter how overwhelming, gets easier when you break it down into manageable parts.
- Persistence Pays Off: There will always be challenges, but if you stick with it, you can push through.
- Working Solo Has Its Advantages: When you’re the only one working on something, you don’t waste time on back-and-forths and you can fix issues quicker since you know the project inside out.
- Perfection Can Slow You Down: Trying to make everything perfect might take more time, but it usually leads to better results in the end.
- Learn by Doing: Handling different roles; coding, designing, managing…gave Durov a solid understanding of how everything fits together.
- Deadlines Are Flexible: Durov planned to finish VK in four weeks but took six, proving that it’s okay if things take longer than expected.
- Focus Requires Sacrifice: Sometimes, getting things done means cutting out distractions and sticking to the essentials, even if it means losing sleep or skipping social time.
- Innovation Wins: By constantly adding new features, Durov stayed ahead of competitors, which helped VK grow fast.
These lessons shaped how Durov built both VK and later, Telegram which is currently the biggest social media messaging app in the world with almost a billion monthly active users.

Exactly 18 years ago today, I launched VK—my first large company. Below is the story of how it happened.
I graduated from Saint-Petersburg University in the summer of 2006. I wanted to keep in touch with my former classmates, but I knew…

okay, there’s a problem here
i thought we could lock down the giveaway to only present subscribers.
but sadly, that’s not possible
i’m afraid some bots might spam the system. we really have a big issue with bots here on tg
but anyway, i’ve got some measures in place to make sure real users get it.
it’s not 100% efficient, but at least 60-90%.

Something is cooking with Durov & ElonMusk
@GrokAI is now live on telegram, but it’s not fully functional yet—looks like they’re still cooking behind the scenes like durov said here
check out this post on why i think it’s bullish for $TON

got a powerful bot that helps me clear out bots and inactive accounts (1+ month gone), so when i do giveaways, it mostly goes to real ones who actually engage.
so yeah, try to react with my posts every now and then, ‘cause if you stay ghost for too long, you’re getting kicked.
i don’t really care about numbers, just wanna keep a solid, loyal community.
