OUR HISTORY

Image of the founder Ivan Karpey
2011 The pure work and pure lean approach
Centaurea was founded by Ivan Karpey in 2011 after leaving a major software vendor to work independently. Initially focused on developing high-load, distributed, big data processing systems, his expertise and professionalism quickly made him a top-rated professional on Upwork. As the workload increased over time, it became clear that a larger team was needed and that technical skills alone were not enough to build products. The ultimate goal was innovation and creation, not just income.

2013 Design Director and Frontend Lead
The next significant phase in the company's journey began in late 2013 when our Design Director and Frontend Lead, Natalia Evsyuchenya, joined as our first full-time employee. This marked a pivotal moment, as Natalia brought much-needed design expertise to the company, but also the company was officially started and selected a direction towards current most desired business model - Startup-as-a-Service. Attracting some brave entrepreneurs allowed Centaurea to build a portfolio. Additionally, the first large startup we developed was acquired by a major investment bank. This reinforced our sense of being on the right path and allowed us to understand that even as a small team operating in a lean environment, we could build top-level products.

2015 Full-stack expertise company
In 2015 Centaurea started to offer services related to mobile application development. Since this moment it was officially possible to name us as a full-stack expertise company. With more and more products developed and projects completed we gain lots of valuable, industry-leading experience. Also with time, we attract more brilliant talents and now could build, scale, launch, support and market projects of almost any size and complexity only relying on our in-house expertise.

2021 Expanding horizons with own digital product
We marked a significant milestone in our journey. While we continue to offer services tailored to other businesses, we launched our own digital product. This innovative product has rapidly expanded its presence, now operating in some of the world's largest regions. Our efforts have not only benefited users but have also enriched our experience in creating, launching, and maintaining dynamic digital solutions.
