Meet Our Customer Ilya
Nexus has been a big help for our growing business. We are great at making our product, but we didn't know much about managing a team. Hiring expensive managers or paying for training wasn’t possible for us. Bakhtiyor’s idea with Nexus caught our eye – it’s different from any other simulator we've seen.
Halfway through the program, I’ve learned so much about how to manage a team in a simple and clear way. It has changed how I make decisions, replacing guesses with real knowledge. The program is easy to fit into our busy schedule, which makes it perfect for entrepreneurs like us.
Bakhtiyor, thank you for this amazing and useful experience! It has really given us new hope and confidence that we can grow our business successfully.
How did Nexus help Ilya, a small business owner?

Ilya was feeling stuck. His business, a small remodeling and furniture operation with 20 employees, was doing okay, but every time he tried to grow it, he hit a wall. He was overwhelmed by the complexities of scaling up, from managing a larger team to dealing with new clients and bigger projects. It was as if he was trying to push his business forward while dragging a heavy weight behind him. He knew he could do better, but the road to success seemed impossible to navigate.
Then he found Nexus.
Nexus offered Ilya a simulation, a glimpse into the future of his business. Over the course of a month, Ilya was thrust into an immersive, extremely realistic world where he wasn’t just running his current business — he was managing a larger, more advanced version of it. Each day presented him with new challenges: tricky financial decisions, unexpected supply chain issues, and employee conflicts. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, Ilya embraced the challenges. With Nexus’s guidance and feedback, he honed his decision-making, improved his financial planning, and mastered managing his team.
Now, Ilya is a different leader. His confidence has soared. He no longer hesitates to take on larger projects or explore new markets. The skills he developed during the Nexus simulation have equipped him to handle the complexities of scaling his business. He’s ready to push forward, no longer held back by fear or uncertainty.
Ilya’s business is poised for incredible growth, and he knows that this time, he’s more than ready to lead it. Thanks to Nexus, the future is brighter than ever.
