Retrospective
A closer look
In a world of constant changes where innovation and creativity were crucial for success, Igor Lestar, a then-young entrepreneur, started his journey with a clear vision to do good and bring value to the world of business.
Along with a team of tech enthusiasts he created a company called Seavus, fully aware of the market possibilities and what they can achieve.
Resources, know-how, and a skillful workforce – are indeed essential for building and growing a successful tech company, and Lestar had the needed leadership skills to connect these aspects and create the perfect synergy. In the end, Seavus rose to be a multinational success story. That paved the way for BtoBet, another multinational disruptor, and a pioneer in the I-betting industry to mark major milestones and secure its place marketwise.
Although Hut4 Capital is something that had a formal birth in recent years, the idea of it was always the flame that kept burning and up to this point in time it is still fueling our Infinity Business Ecosystem. Every successful venture was our incentive to build more and grow.
The image today is clear: Hut4 Capital is a global investment group that operates across multiple continents and has a footprint in various industries, including software product solutions, digital media, gaming, real estate, and fintech.
Qualities
Seeking the true values
As Hut4 Capital grew, it realized the need to create an ecosystem of complementary businesses that would strengthen its core operations and help it to achieve its strategic objectives. The company set out to identify businesses that shared its values and could contribute to the creation of an Infinite Business Ecosystem.
