About
Konstantin Dzhengozov backed Payhawk as its first angel investor and was, in his own words, involved 100% from day minus one — then became its third co-founder and CFO, steering the company to a $1 billion valuation in 2022 and past $100 million of annual recurring revenue by 2026 on a lifetime burn multiple of roughly 1.2x. He spent about five years in corporate finance at KPMG and then ran financial planning at Telerik through its acquisition by Progress, choosing to stay in Bulgaria rather than relocate. EY named him CFO of the Year. He is a mountain biker and downhill skier who once dislocated the same shoulder three times on a single ski trip and was back on a snowboard within days.
