The future co -founder “Take the charge!

According to the businessman, he did not like the Moscow school because of the weak program, but he still attended the lessons because he fell in love with a classmate. At the Prague metro station, there was a dance school “The desire”, where Kulakov went to study - at that time he became interested in dancing. At this school, Cyril first became the younger assistant to the teacher, and then an instructor.

Then the classes took place only on weekends, and it seemed strange to me. I began to regularly conduct classes and gradually became a partner, ”says the businessman.

Then, as he claims, it was possible to sell portions of finished chopped fruits and vegetables. The project was not too successful-the company did not have a base for storing raw materials, so Kulakov sold it to his partner Stepan Ermachenkov, with whom he studied at the Skolkovo business school.

Eight months later, the first automated station in a cafe on Kitay-Gorod launched, in the same area there was a coworking in which service employees worked.
