  VK is one of the most visited platforms on the Russian internet. We create products that we, our friends, family and 97 million other people use every day. We believe that it’s important to share our experience, support talented specialists and develop IT education in Russia.
  VK’s mission is to connect people, services and companies by creating simple and convenient communication tools.
  We set and achieve ambitious goals. We demand a lot of ourselves since the result of our work is used by our friends, family and millions of others. Every day brings new challenges, and we welcome these because they help us grow. 
  We create products that we're proud of. It's not easy, but that's what makes it interesting. We're always on the lookout for specialists who are ready to take on challenges, go above and beyond and think about others, from users to their colleagues.
  The VK Team is based in three cities: Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and Sochi, with regional representative offices in Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazakhstan.
  Our headquarters is located in the Singer House, a historical landmark in the heart of Saint Petersburg. Among ourselves, we call the building "Zinger" and "Zee". When people ask, we usually just say that it’s the "House of Books". The Singer House is where we meet to discuss the most important decisions.
  VK also has offices in the U Krasnogo Mosta business center, where the product and technical teams are based.
  Since mid-2020, we have been building teams that work fully remotely from anywhere they want. This makes it possible for people from cities without VK offices to join the team.

  At VNT Management, our story is one of bold innovation, vision, and commitment to sustainable impact. Since our inception in 2002, we have been pioneers in transformative technologies investment, recognizing early on the pivotal role of technology in addressing the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

  Through global economic crises, from the 2008 financial crash to the recent energy crisis, we have remained steadfast in our belief that cleantech is not just a necessity but an opportunity. While downturns temporarily slowed investment, they also reinforced the urgency of energy independence, efficiency, and sustainability—principles that have guided our approach.

  For Entrepreneurs, by Entrepreneurs

  When we created VOCCP, we created a new kind of venture firm - one that's based on inspiration for entrepreneurs by entrepreneurs, teamwork and a true dedication to building fast growing companies of lasting value. We build with you, and we know the path to results.

  Unlike many venture firms where partners often have a financial or banking background, we are all entrepreneurs and have faced what you are about to face. We have built companies and sold companies with market caps ranging from €15m to €1Bn to private equity investors as well as strategic buyers. Every full-time general partner is or has been a successful entrepreneur and we will service you as a team.

  This unique entrepreneurial team approach will give you the benefit of having all of our experienced, well-connected partners working for you, not just one. Whether it's to help recruit executives, facilitate corporate partnerships, get advice on strategic moves, or exit your company at a premium price, you will have access to the combined resources of our entire team.
