Matvey Timoshenko

Matvey Timoshenko is a mobile-app entrepreneur best known as a co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of Easybrain, a casual/puzzle mobile-game developer he founded in 2016 alongside Oleg Grushevich (CEO) and Peter Skoromnyi. Easybrain is behind popular puzzle titles such as Sudoku.com, Killer Sudoku, Art Puzzle and Blockudoku, and has grown to more than 1.5 billion downloads with roughly 12 million daily active users, crossing milestones of 100 million (2019) and 200 million+ downloads in subsequent years.

Before Easybrain, Timoshenko was a co-founder and COO (also described as General Director) of Apalon, a mobile-app studio known for weather and utility apps. Apalon was acquired by IAC's Mindspark Interactive Network in 2014, marking his first major exit in the mobile space. His career has centered on the operational and business side of high-volume, ad- and subscription-monetized consumer mobile apps.

According to profile aggregators, Timoshenko studied at Kozminski University (Akademia Leona Koźmińskiego) in Warsaw and the Modern Humanitarian Academy. His public footprint is primarily as an operator rather than a professional fund manager — he is categorized in investor databases as an angel investor, but his individual angel portfolio is not publicly detailed (PitchBook lists no disclosed individual investments).

In 2021, Easybrain merged with Sweden's Embracer Group in a deal valued at up to $765 million (an initial ~$640M plus ~$125M in earn-outs, paid in Embracer shares), which made Easybrain's senior management — Skoromnyi, Timoshenko and Grushevich — collectively one of Embracer's largest shareholders. In November 2024, Embracer divested Easybrain to Miniclip (backed by Tencent) in a transaction valued at approximately $1.2 billion, representing a second major liquidity event tied to the business Timoshenko helped build.

• Categorized as an angel investor writing personal checks, with the stub data pointing to seed-stage deals.
• Given his operating history, the most credible fit is mobile apps/games and consumer software — the domain where he has two large exits (Apalon → IAC; Easybrain → Embracer → Miniclip).
• Likely values what he executed on himself: strong monetization (ads + subscriptions), high install volumes, retention, and disciplined operations rather than pre-product concepts.
• Note: no publicly stated, quotable investment thesis or defined check-size range was found; the "Angel / Seed" positioning comes from the provided stub and investor-database categorization, not from a published mandate.
