Glazni began as a mobile-first software studio, building premium, privacy-focused iOS and Android apps for clients across Russia, Germany and the rest of Europe. Today it's the holding company behind a growing index of independent ventures โ spanning software, marketing, talent, hospitality technology, privacy-first computing and website hosting.
Each venture ships its own roadmap and owns its own P&L โ while sharing the same Glazni backbone.

Glazni started as a mobile-first software studio in Moscow โ an idea Aleksandr Gabushev first put together, with Franz Graaf joining not long after to help build it out โ building fast, native-feeling Android and iOS apps, plus the websites, desktop tools, and infrastructure around them, for clients across Russia, Germany and the rest of Europe. As that studio grew, the teams around it โ marketing, talent, hospitality tech, design, privacy-first computing, and website migration โ grew into ventures of their own, each now run day to day by its own team. Glazni is now the holding company that sits above all of them: still rooted in Moscow, with Berlin as its European hub and remote coverage across the rest of the continent.
Each venture owns its own roadmap and its own P&L. Nobody waits on a parent company's queue.
Recruiting and people operations are built once โ in Glazni Talent โ and every venture in the index draws on the same hiring pipeline.
Every venture is held to the craft and ownership standards the original Moscow studio was built on.
The same path every venture in the index has taken so far.
We look for problems worth solving โ usually ones a team inside Glazni has already run into first-hand.
A small team ships a working product the way the original studio did: fast, and in production.
Once it's proven, the team runs it as its own venture โ own name, own roadmap, own hiring.
The venture draws on Glazni Talent and the shared engineering backbone so it can grow without rebuilding the basics.
Every venture is hiring โ see what's open, or write to us about the next one.
