We invite you to read a short summary of the interview given by Nykyta Izmailov, the owner of a sports bank and the N1 Foundation, which owns a number of companies.
What markets do you favor?
I like the markets of the post-Soviet area the most. All the risks associated with it are clear. The Nordic Europe is very interesting. The location in Europe. The level of purchasing potential here is much higher than in Ukraine. Revolut, N26 are considered to be rather great players. But they have not yet been able to get to Ukraine. It turns out that the service there is at a low level. The work of other companies continues. The history of information systems since 2000. But there is a premium on paid services.
Do you want to live independently in Western Europe?
We do not yet have this desire. Ukraine cannot be considered the place where you should devote most of your time.
Where did you want to spend some time?
I am very fond of Italy. When winter comes, there is a desire to go for a drive. In the summer there is a desire to swim. In the period between seasons it is better to engage in meditation.
Maybe something good can be found in California in the Silicon Valley?
So far, these countries do not appeal to me. I do not want to be a businessman here. California is not interesting in any way. There are two hypostases. There is a variant to go to the country as a startup. Or you can go there as a startup, as a medium-sized fishing entrepreneur.
Which middle-income funds should I give priority to?
Fredom Finance continues to work in Kazakhstan. They have a good position in Russia. This business is just beginning to open in Ukraine. The employees of "Fredom Finance" provide brokerage services and are engaged in trading. The company was founded by Timur Turlov. He managed to achieve everything on his own. Initially, he worked for some time as a broker. NASDAQ was created by him. At thirty-five, he already had his own business, his own idea. Freda is considered a motivational business.
One does not want to look at such examples as Bezos and Musk. It was very cool. You never know who leads these people. The person who was separated several times can not be happy.
Sergiy Tokariev from ReFace continues to divorce. In order to develop their structure, the team needs to make a lot of efforts. These guys are developing a tremendous amount of talent. The scientists are working on creating hackathons. The philosophical sense of their goal is to leave their mark on their activities. They have a specific mission.
Do you have a mission?
Of course, there is. But it has nothing to do with the university. The goal is to promote health and a healthy way of life. Є one company. Its name is Eat Easy. The company creates healthy organic drinks. Tea mushrooms, kombucha, and sea rice are used for their creation. The drinks are practically sugar-free. For example, cola contains about ten grams of zinc. The mushroom is able to process the entire amount of the zinc. During the month produced by about a hundred thousand beads. When you reach miliona bean, you can talk about the competition. The main task - to overcome a stake.
What do you think, when there will be vysimsti. Maybe people will think that thanks to their great efforts, they have not eaten?
How do you keep in shape? Do you like sports?
If I have free time, then thirty-five percent of it should be devoted to sports. Each early training session lasts more than three years. Constant running, wrestling with the weight, stretching. Thanks to this complex you feel the fullness of life. The work of the brain is prolonged.
