The Deal

Bought By
Zain Ishaq and Vadym Kononenko
Year
Not published by any primary source
The backer's gallery pairs the chief executives with the company and marks it as still held, and carries no date of any kind. The company's own site was read in full and states no ownership change and no year for one. A trade site's report of October 26, 2021 says the company announced a growth investment led by the backer and his appointment as chief executive, an investment and an appointment rather than a purchase.

Method & Source

This record is double-sourced: it joined when the purchase and, where the company has traded on, the exit could both be read in primary accounts.

These sources name who runs the business and when the firm invested, rather than saying in a sentence that the searchers bought it. The pairing rests on the row's other sources, which name the person beside the company. The index host's company page, names one as chief executive and the other as president beside its own 2021 investment. Its roster files the search as partner with a launch year of 2020. Nothing on it says who bought the company.
