Hey there!

I am Ross Kimbarovsky.

I am the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel at Jurat. Jurat bridges the gap between blockchain technology and the U.S. legal system. Our patent-pending platform ensures that web3 innovations can thrive with full legal support, merging decentralized technology with the security of traditional legal systems.

I am the founder and CEO at crowdspring. Since 2007, more than 220,000 experienced designers and namers on crowdspring have helped 101,000+ small businesses, startups, agencies, and nonprofits with high-quality custom logo design, web design, graphic design, product design, and business naming services. Crowdspring has worked with the world’s best brands, including Amazon, LG, Starbucks, Microsoft, Barilla, and Philips, with many of the world’s best agencies and tens of thousands of entrepreneurs, startups, and nonprofits.

I am a serial entrepreneur.  Since founding crowdspring, I’ve also started other ventures, including Startup Foundry, a tech startup incubator; Quickly Legal, a platform for smart legal contracts; and Respect, an innovative, technology-enabled home care service for the elderly.

I am an attorney. I have deep roots in both the legal and regulatory fields. I’ve litigated complex commercial and intellectual property cases in state and federal courts in the United States and at the World Intellectual Property Organization. Beyond the courtroom, I have extensive experience in regulatory proceedings, representing clients in front of entities like the Illinois Commerce Commission and the U.S. Department of Transportation and participating in federal investigations and prosecutions arising from the failure of financial institutions. This unique blend of experiences has honed my expertise in navigating the intricate interplay between law, business, and technology.

I have a strong interest in Web3. As Jurat’s Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, I am deeply immersed in the blockchain, Web3, and crypto spaces. I’ve been actively mining on the JTC Network (Jurat). Jurat’s paradigm-shifting blockchain technology intrigued me with its potential to protect legal rights by facilitating direct access to U.S. courts. This innovation allows for enforcing legal rights within an established, trusted system, offering a seamless blend of decentralization’s benefits with the reliability of traditional legal recourse.

I am an avid cyclist. I ride about 6,000 miles per year (outdoors and indoors; I live in Chicago where it’s not easy to ride year-round). My personal best is 9,000 miles in one year. To put that in perspective, the United States is 2,800 miles wide when measured horizontally from the eastern seaboard to the west coast. That year, I effectively cycled across the United States. Three times.

I am an immigrant from Kyiv, Ukraine. I emigrated to the U.S. with my family in 1979.

I am happy wearing shorts. This preference influenced my decision to leave my law practice in 2007 and establish crowdspring, a place where creativity and comfort converge.
