For SKELAR 10th anniversary we set an ambitious goal of fundraising ₴10 mln. And we manged to collect ₴12,078,000! For this anniversary we conducted a one-month internal promotional campaign during which employees donated for the common goal — peaceful future of our country. Thus, we exceeded the goal. And this is how we act in all our approaches to work — set a high bar and make efforts to achieve the desired. We are proud of our team`s support. We continue to build tech businesses, conquer global markets and work for a free Ukraine!

This weekend we pedaled and made charity smoothies at the DOU Day Picnic. It was the charity networking event which gathered 4,000+ members of tech community. Throughout the day we blended up 250 cups of smoothies, which turned into a donation of 75,000 UAH for the DOU x Come Back Alive. Getting ready for more meetups at DOU

Product Marketing attracts more and more attention from both candidates and employers. However, not everyone fully understands special features of this domain, areas of responsibility and when to involve PMM in a team. Lydia Khan, Product Manager at Liven by SKELAR, sharing the example of her team's business, explains who PMM is and how it differs from a product manager. By the way, Lidiia prepared a checklist with product metrics as a bonus. This checklist was created to help get to know and better understand, through metrics, what is important for a B2C product with a subscription-based monetization model. Put + in the comments and we will send it to you in private messages.

Be a builder in the independent state! 🇺🇦

SKELAR hits its 10-year anniversary! Here at SKELAR we build international tech businesses. We also build strong teams, the charity fund, external communities and internal domain clubs. Thus, the term ‘Builders of tomorrow’ is not a copywriting hack. This mindset aspires our people to act proactively. Suggest, improve, discuss. At the same time, skelars have to take responsibility for their decisions, actions and possible consequences. Measure work not with hours spent, but with results received. That is why we call ourselves builders. It has been so throughout our history, and it will be so tomorrow. And every next year we will continue to follow our mission — build Ukrainian international IT-companies together with powerful entrepreneurs.

Try to challenge yourself in a place providing all the opportunities needed. Grab open positions in international tech businesses in: - software engineering - analytics - product - marketing and other spheres. We have many challenges for you in each of our business teams: from EdTech to marketplaces. And we also have a strong SKELAR team, encompassing 1000+ employees and continue to grow every year.
