OpenWay AI Founder Anna Belova Named One of the Top 26 Founders in Founder Index
OpenWay AI is proud to share that Anna Belova, founder of OpenWay AI, has been named one of the Top 26 Founders in the Q2 2026 edition of the Founder Index, a New York-based founder ranking and recognition initiative.
Founder Index is a global founder recognition initiative by FounderSquare, created to spotlight emerging founders building meaningful companies across the startup ecosystem. Each quarter, the program identifies founders with strong vision, traction, innovation, and a distinctive founder journey.
For Anna, the recognition reflects a long entrepreneurial path built around one personal motto:
“Impossible” is not a reason.
That mindset shaped her work long before OpenWay AI. When Anna was building augmented reality books, publishers around the world told her the idea would not work. The result was more than 15 million copies sold globally, helping millions of children learn to read, discover dinosaurs, explore space, and experience stories in a new way.
Later, as her SaaS platform reached 2,000 new B2B signups a day entirely organically, another question appeared: what if the growth-hacking principles behind that success could become a product for other businesses?
That idea became the beginning of OpenWay AI.
Today, OpenWay AI is being built as an AI Growth Hacker for businesses focused on growth. The platform brings together the principles Anna has used in her own entrepreneurial journey: simplicity, efficiency, experimentation, customer understanding, and the ability to turn business signals into action.
“I don’t promise a magic wand, but I know how to achieve real results,” Anna shared in her announcement.
The Founder Index evaluates founders through two lenses: business excellence and founder story. According to the program, selection is based not only on what founders are building, but also on the resilience, personal journey, and distinctiveness of the path that brought them there.
This makes the recognition especially meaningful for OpenWay AI. The company was created from a practical founder’s experience: building products, finding distribution, testing growth hypotheses, learning from customers, and turning scattered business context into a working growth system.
The full Q2 cohort includes 26 founders with unique stories across technology, AI, healthcare, accessibility, consumer products, infrastructure, and other sectors.
For OpenWay AI, this milestone is also a reminder of the company’s core belief: growth is not magic. It is a system. And the strongest founders are often the ones who keep asking “What if?” when everyone else says “impossible.”
