Crunchbase lists one personal investment for Andrey Dobrynin: the Medly AI seed round. Press coverage of that round names him as one of several angels. He is described there as the CEO of InvestEngine.
No other angel investments, fund commitments or exits by him are public in the sources we found, so none are listed here.
Medly AI announced an $8M seed round in August 2026. Felix Capital led it, and existing investors Eka Ventures and Ada Ventures took part. The other angels were Al Giles, Jean Hammond and Hector Mason.
Medly is a London company founded by two UCL medicine graduates, Dr Paul Jung and Dr Kavi Samra. It builds an AI tutor for exam preparation, covering GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, IB, SAT and university courses. The company says it will use the funds to grow its UK student community and expand internationally, including SAT, AP and ACT prep in the US.
The only public data point is a seed-stage investment in an AI education product from a London startup. That is not enough to state a thesis. We found no public statements from him on stage, sectors, geography or check size, and his check size in Medly is not disclosed. Founders should ask him directly about fit.
