Dmitry Borisovich Volkov founded Social Discovery Group in 2014, and set out to support startups that have the potential to positively change the way people connect and interact in this digital age. Volkov realised the power technology had in forming meaningful social interactions. With an understanding of social dynamics and the unexplored possibilities of technology, he aimed to provide investments for the companies  which shared the same passion for community building and social networking.
