Moomkin is a Kazakh startup combining specific features of LinkedIn, Facebook and other popular social sites to help businesses build social networks.

Release year 2012

Project background

In 2010, the founders of the Moomkin startup came to IT Craft after an in-depth study of the best and most popular social networking resources for professional needs. These included LinkedIn, Yammer, Salesforce, and Facebook. The client’s main goal was to build a Web platform incorporating the best features addressed to the local market. Having collected essential requirements for a Web platform beta version, our IT Craft team started the initial design and development. The beta version was tested with a limited number of users. After receiving feedback from the beta testers, Moomkin founders decided to move ahead and expand the system logic. Investors from Kazakhstan, Hungary and US expressed interest in Moomkin. The team continued working on full functionality.

Moomkin is an innovative hybrid of a business social network and platform for developing business media through which people can share innovative ideas, knowledge and opportunities.
