Dmitry Krutov
Founder of Skillbox
The Ultimate Capital team joined us in the very early beginnings of Skillbox. Although we were of very different cultures, it was important that we agreed on a 3-year strategy and collaborated closely in executing it.
Colleagues did not interfere in management and did not impose their point of view. If difficulties arose, we always discussed solutions.

When the MRG option arose, it was important for me to feel that there were partners who would help defend our interests and mine. At that time the role of Ultimate was crucial.

After the deal the relationship changed of course, we all calmed down a bit).And we started working even faster and more efficiently.
