About Andrey Khusid
Andrey Khusid is the founder and CEO of Miro, the online whiteboard and visual collaboration platform. He started it in 2011 with co-founder Oleg Shardin under the name RealtimeBoard, and it was renamed Miro in 2019. Miro is headquartered in Amsterdam and San Francisco.
Before Miro, Khusid worked as a graphic designer and ran a creative agency for about seven years. Crunchbase lists him as based in Amsterdam, and lists Vitamin Video as a past role.
PitchBook also lists him as a founding partner and general partner at S16VC, and as an advisor to Dragonboat. Nordic9 describes S16 as an angel fund he runs with Aleks Shamis and Oleg Bibergan.
Public databases show only part of his activity, and their counts differ. PitchBook lists three investments and Crunchbase lists six. Neither source discloses check sizes.
Dated deals found in public sources include Lokalise (September 2020), Build.One (seed, October 2021), Stonly (Series A, January 2022) and Adfin (Series A). He has joined rounds as one of several angels rather than as a lead investor.
His AI deal on the Lounge deals desk is CodeWords, a $9M seed round announced in May 2026. CodeWords is a London company, previously called Agemo, that lets non-technical users automate business workflows through chat prompts.
Visionaries led the round, with firstminute capital, Sequel and Illusian participating. Other angels in the round include Mati Staniszewski of ElevenLabs and Ilkka Paananen of Supercell. No other AI investments by Khusid turned up in the sources reviewed.
Khusid has not published a thesis, a preferred stage or a check size that we could find. His disclosed deals are seed and Series A rounds in software, with a few in European startups. The sectors are developer and productivity software, customer onboarding, fintech and AI workflow automation.
S16 is described as a community-driven, founder-centric angel fund run by active founders and industry professionals. Nordic9 lists its portfolio as mostly UK-based software services companies.
