VENICE, CA, July 27, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lev Filimonov has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Filimonov has established a distinguished career at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship and media innovation. In 2026, he assumed the role of chief executive officer and founder of The Agent Times in Venice, California. Under his leadership, The Agent Times has become the largest media outlet in the agent economy sector, recognized for delivering news coverage 67 percent faster than competing resources. The company's pioneering products include Agent Pixel, which tracks agent actions on websites, and a proprietary solution enabling autonomous agents to make online purchases—a capability unique to their platform. Mr. Filimonov regards The Agent Times as his most influential achievement, reflecting his expertise in agent economy, agent products and autonomous artificial intelligence agents.

Prior to this, Mr. Filimonov founded ShredSpots in Venice, California, in 2021, where he continues to drive innovation in digital platforms. Previously, from 2025 to 2026, he served as the head of business development at CoinsPaid, contributing to strategic growth initiatives within the cryptocurrency industry.

Between 2018 and 2021, Mr. Filimonov was a founding partner at LA FUND and concurrently held the position of chief sales and marketing officer at the American Nightlife Association in Los Angeles. For the preceding two years, he was the chief executive officer and founder of CHCK-N, a technology-enabled nightlife application that gained popularity throughout Europe. His entrepreneurial journey began in Ukraine as founder and partner of Boom Boom Room from 2011 to 2017, where he operated eight nightclubs and developed a deep understanding of scalable business models.

Academically, Mr. Filimonov's background includes earning a Bachelor of Business Administration from Wisconsin International University (USA), Ukraine, in 2008. He has also achieved an advanced/proficient score on the EFSET Quick English Check from EF. He is also an active member of FFA and is widely regarded for his contributions to the emerging field of autonomous artificial intelligence agents.

The discipline that underpins Mr. Filimonov's professional success is rooted in years spent as a professional rollerblader. Mastering complex tricks required extensive preparation and calculated risk-taking, qualities that he has translated into his approach to business ventures. His transition from operating nightclubs in Europe to launching technology-driven projects was motivated by a desire for greater scalability and impact. After developing a successful nightlife app in Europe, he relocated permanently to the United States in 2017 to pursue startup opportunities.

Mr. Filimonov's wide-ranging experience reflects his belief that anything is possible, and he hopes to inspire others who may doubt their ability to succeed. After spending some of his childhood in the United States as an exchange student, he later immigrated to the U.S. with limited financial resources to restart his life. He faced significant challenges, including the impact of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine on his earlier businesses, yet he continued to build successful companies. Through his journey, he hopes to encourage others to embrace new opportunities and demonstrate that perseverance and discipline can help overcome major obstacles.

Mr. Filimonov's commitment extends beyond business through significant volunteer work supporting Ukrainian people during times of conflict. He has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including selection for Venture Capital Unlocked at Stanford University in 2019, inclusion on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, receipt of the Future Leaders Exchange Program Award from the United States State Department and winning the SWAC Exchange Program competition. As an author, he has contributed "Ukrainian Bar Takes Social Media to New Level" to The Wall Street Journal in 2014.

Born in Sevastopol, Mr. Filimonov draws inspiration from his family's entrepreneurial legacy. In his personal life, he enjoys professional rollerblading and performing tricks—a passion that continues to influence his disciplined approach to life and work.

In the upcoming years, Mr. Filimonov is focused on building foundational infrastructure for the agentic economy with ambitions to create an alternative distribution layer for online businesses seeking direct access to agents without reliance on existing search engines. His vision is to construct a platform with global reach and transformative potential for digital commerce and communication.
