Building a company in a dynamic and progressive IT market requires the courage to act and the ability to «run twice as fast», as in the famous fairy tale. And if you aspire not just to create a successful IT business, but also to reorient the Ukrainian market from outsourcing to a product, then you need something more. However, it is definitely worth the effort.

Every month we share the stories of small and medium-sized technological businesses and projects that bring our victory over Russia closer.

Recently, the former parent company of Russian Yandex, the Dutch Nebius, raised $700 million. Investors include prominent international companies and funds. In particular, Nvidia, Accel Partners LP and Orbis Investments. In less than 3 years of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the European part of Yandex managed to separate from the Russian "daughter", "whiten out" and start growing in Europe. "We are now a Western company," says Nebius CEO Arkady Volozh, who stood at the origins of Russia's Yandex and devoted half of his life to working in it. We tell you what "non-Russian" Yandex came to Europe with, how it builds business on the "debris" of its former greatness, and what risks it may have not only for the technological world.
