“At first the service helps people formalizing their wishes, and then gradually makes them placing targets and them collecting at it, - says Mr.Ivanov. – Initially we personally inspired with experience of the “Smartyping”, but people make it own way. It looks like standard wishlists, but this is for social interaction, further logics will be more sophisticated. As you understand, the project should be special in order we after American deals could make Russian investment. A good perspective idea, good IU, viral potential and there are no such heavy infrastructure and integration with banks as other fintech-projects have, thisi s why it is much easier for them enter the foreign markets, at with I make a great stake in case of the “myWishBoard”.
