RIAS: How did you decide to invest in children sports?
Firstly, I had experience in the investment company for nine years, and
therefore work with the investments was my core job. As for sports, I have
played football all my life , not at the highest level, but it helped me learn
the basics: what is missing, how to begin, what I would like to see at the
heart of youth schools. And interest. It's always fun, it's always emotions,
new impressions, new contacts, and it is simply interesting to do. We have
found the investors with the same views as we have, they made an
investment, then we set a goal that the investment should be one-time,
and then everything should be based on the work of the stadium.
Investors who entered the pool, do not receive high dividends, it basically
as bank interest, I.e., they could have put money in the bank and got
about the same returns. Plus, they enjoy the process and activities at this
particular facility. And they get the money.

RIAS: How were you looking for an investor? How to find like-minded people?
What is the formula for success?
The formula for success, as you rightly pointed out, is like-minded
people. Firstly you appeal to those who have already sponsored
football projects, for example, has sponsored an adult or childen's
football team. Who themselves were playing soccer, not necessarily at a
high level. And to those who have business unrelated to sport, I.e.,
those who have money, they can invest. We found such people. On this
basis, we formed a closed joint stock company "Kolomyagi sport",
which was engaged in investments in the stadium, the football school
Kolomyagi, which is also engaged in investments in the stadium, and
the company, which sells sporting equipment. Our founders are 7
people, all physical entities.
