Our mission is to liberate businesses from IT dependencies.
A Complete Journey About the Company? When you have started, how and where?
With extensive experience working with various companies across different sectors, including retail, Maksym, Yaroslav, Max, and Sergiy have firsthand knowledge of the challenges businesses face in digitalization. What began as a modest consulting enterprise evolved into something extraordinary. PLATMA emerged from a deep understanding of business needs – a solution that could speak its language, literally. Today, PLATMA embodies the idea of making technology accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical expertise.
The Journey of Founder and Co-Founders?
Our path is a journey of transformation and discovery. Maksym Prokhorov, co-founder & CEO, combines his background in restaurant and retail industries with over a decade of IT entrepreneurship experience. As a founding member of PMP Group holding, he helped grow the company to 300+ employees. His track record includes launching more than 50 successful digitization projects across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, collaborating with global giants like Auchan, Domino’s Pizza, and SI Group.
Yaroslav Kologryvov, co-founder & CBDO, combines expertise in business automation and venture capital. He founded QOTEQ, an SMB automation platform (part of PLATMA since 2023), and managed USP Capital venture fund for 5 years, investing in 12 hardware startups including Time 4 Machine ($500,000 on Kickstarter) and WIDER multivisor technology, which has been implemented by companies in Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Among them, multivisor was acquired by the corporation Pepsi. As CEO of Kyiv Polytechnic Science Park, he increased investments to $26 million.
Max Kolyada, co-founder & CTO, brings over 20 years of experience in leading technical teams. His impressive background includes work with Algabas and Khortytsa holding, along with successful collaborations with the Ukrainian government.
Sergiy Kozlov, co-founder & Head of Product, draws on his expertise from leading roles at DOC.UA and IBOX to drive product development. His notable achievement includes implementing self-service payment terminal solutions for IBOX, serving 4 million users.
Together, this diverse founding team combines technical expertise, business acumen, and innovation capabilities to drive PLATMA’s mission of transforming business automation. Their collective experience spans industries from retail to fintech, providing a powerful foundation for PLATMA’s continued growth and success.
Who are your customers? And have you supplied it to anyone? What is the feedback?
For PLATMA, our customers are not just users but innovation partners. Currently, the platform has over 10,000 registered users who have created thousands of applications across various industries. PLATMA helps people from the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Slovenia, and other countries.
We collaborate with both companies and freelancers. Some use our platform to solve their own challenges, while others find opportunities to earn and help other companies. A striking example of collaboration with freelancers: a startup owner from Fiji received a development quote of $17,000 and 4 months from a contractor. After accidentally meeting our Head of Growth at a conference in the USA, they implemented the same functionality in just 7 hours, saving tens of thousands of dollars and 4 months of work.
Companies that independently adopt PLATMA report a remarkable 70% reduction in routine tasks! Chris Vanualailai from Environmental Technologies Pacific states, “Switching to PLATMA was a game-changer. We cut costs by 99% and gained the flexibility we desperately needed. PLATMA didn’t just solve our immediate needs; it positioned us for long-term success. We’re now more agile, sustainable, and prepared for what’s next.” Our clients consistently express gratitude for how PLATMA has transformed their operations without requiring technical knowledge.

Are you looking for investors? If yes then how much?
To accelerate the growth of our platform and advance our technology, investments are essential. While our revenue grows steadily each month, making PLATMA a standard in the industry requires additional funding and support from investors. We are not only seeking financial backing but also strategic advice and expertise from our investors.
We continuously engage with investors, funds, business angels, and venture market players in MENA and other regions, while participating in business accelerators and other programs.
In 2024, we successfully closed a pre-seed funding round, raising $2.25 million at a valuation of $20 million. These funds will be directed towards further technology development and expanding artificial intelligence capabilities in accordance with business needs in the MENA region. We are planning to close our next round in September 2025.
