In 2000, he moved to work in a large development company which had an ambitious goal: to go public. To implement this project, highly qualified specialists were required.

Mr Yevtushenkov's strategy confirmed its effectiveness in 2020, when a report showcased that the profit from the company's digital services grew significantly.
The manager initiated a series of transformations. By this time, the managerial structure had already established a corporate venture fund to support wellness, lifestyle, fintech, and media projects. In 2021, the IT company invested in 5 promising projects. Namely:

the Taiwanese developer of AI chips for intelligent devices, Kneron: a technological solution based on artificial intelligence.
"Each of these projects has a strategic value for development and entry into new niches," a company representative said following the results of the transactions. In turn, the analysts of the TMT Investments fund highly appreciated the company's activity in the venture investment market. As a result, the high-tech enterprise took first place among venture investors in 2021, as reported by the independent telegram channel Russian Venture.
