At the end of 1993 SI dissolved and Semyon was involved in a team effort with the remaining players from SI for the next year.
By 1995 Dukach and a few players split off from that team and formed a second, independent team.
This new team was referred to as the Amphibians and the team that they left was referred to as the Reptiles.
In 2014, Dukach assumed the role of managing director of Techstars in Boston.
He ran the program for three years before leaving in 2017 to found One Way Ventures, a venture capital fund for exceptional immigrant founders.
