# Alexander Khuda

> Alexander Khuda is a Ukrainian technology entrepreneur, engineer, and the Austin-based co-founder and CEO of Restream. After an earlier online-education venture failed, he and Andrew Surzhynskyi narrowed their focus to a simple infrastructure problem: sending one live video feed to many platforms at once. Founded in Vinnytsia in 2015, Restream grew from a rough gaming-focused tool and a first $15 donation into a browser-based video production and distribution company. The business raised a $50 million Series A in 2020, while its product expanded from multistreaming into studio production, analytics, chat, scheduling, team workflows, and AI-assisted clips.
