Gleb Kharitonov is the 29-year-old founder of the startup Briskly. In 2012, Gleb saw the potential in the growing food tech industry and tried to create an app for pre-ordering in restaurants. But he quickly realized that he could not withstand the competition in this niche, and began to look for other opportunities. Once a friend showed him a Chinese container store without cashiers that work through the WeChat app, which prompted the entrepreneur to create Briskly.

Briskly, a startup founded in 2018, produces hardware and software for grocery stores that provide self-service. The company also developed the B-Pay application, through which you can scan and pay for goods in order to avoid the queue at the checkout.

In October 2020, Briskly raised $ 2 million, with these funds the startup expects to open two full-size stores in Moscow under its own brand and go abroad. In 2021, the company bought a plant in Vyborg and now produces its own smart refrigerators.
