Forbes makes a list and 30 Under 30 every year, it includes the leading young innovators and leaders under the age of 30 years. Leaders were chosen in 20 categories (for example, “User technology”, “Art”, “Science”, “Education”, “Marketing and advertising”, etc.) for 30 people each.

In the past two years, the startup has raised several million rounds, and the last $20 million in September 2016.

Networks is an online service for storing source code of projects based on a system of file management Git. Software developers such services are needed for tracking changes in code projects. This means that every time you change part of the code saves a new version. This is especially important in large companies where projects employ a large number of users: it is easier to keep track of changing versions.
