2020: $100K investment from Renat Batyrov, who took the position of Senior Advisor

Renat Batyrov, CEO of Technopark Skolkovo"," invested $100 thousand in Almamat, a career IT accelerator working under the revenue share model: instead of paying education for graduates, they will deduct to startup a monthly percentage of their salary for two years. Investments are planned to be invested in the development of the project, the main purpose of which is to teach IT professions with subsequent employment in the specialty. Almamat announced this on June 25, 2020.

Renat Batyrov also took the position of Senior Advisor in Almamat. In this post, he will help the startup solve a number of investment and financial problems: from organizing operational activities to attracting regular investments.

I am very happy to become part of this team, which is headed by real professionals, "says Renat Batyrov, CEO of Skolkovo Technopark. - during the period of rapid development of Edtech, it is extremely important to support such young and interesting projects as Almamat. The founders found a really innovative solution, starting to invest in their students. Over time, this can completely change the idea of ​ ​ education, forming an understandable and relevant criterion for its quality - successful employment.

Before Batyrov's participation, the company was already able to attract investments in the amount of $250 thousand from a number of entrepreneurs, including the founders of the PR agency Vinci Agency Alexander Izryadnov and Maria Lapuk.

The company announced the format of work on the revenue share model in early 2020 - simultaneously with the launch of the program, developed jointly with specialists from Silicon Valley. About 100 students study on the first stream of the program. The training follows the principles of Lean Education and Crowd Learning, which involves the absence of teachers and textbooks, working on real projects and improving soft skills.

I am very proud that Almamat receives such high ratings from well-known people in our industry. For us, this is a sign that the company has a really big future, "comments the initiator of the launch of Almamat, CEO and co-founder of the project Dmitry Green. - In fact, our model of training is built on the same principle: we invest only in those students in which we believe - therefore, for enrollment in the program you need to pass the qualifying stage, which helps to weed out those who came for a tick and are not ready to give all the strength to their development. Now it can be argued that Almamat has passed its conditional "qualifying stage," having received approval from the market. And of course, we are aimed at fully justifying this trust.
