WHAT WE LOOK FOR

CULTURAL FIT

OUR PROMISE

Along the way, we met incredible business owners. People who have spent years building strong, steady, meaningful companies. Not flashy, not hyped — but deeply important. The kind of businesses that keep this country running.


And yet, many of them faced the same challenge: how to ensure what they have built continues to grow, even after they step away.


ST3 Group was born from a desire to answer that — to give founders a way to step back with confidence, knowing their business and their people will continue to thrive.


We believe growth is not just a business goal — it is a fundamental human drive.


We are passionate about personal and professional development — becoming better leaders, building stronger teams, and helping people reach their full potential.

We are here to support that journey, especially for the entrepreneurs and operators who keep the real economy running.

ST3 Group is a family business — founded by us, Anatoly and Evgenia, together with our close friend of 20 years, Nick. We're partners in life, work, and a shared mission.

We know what it is like to build something from scratch — to take risks, wear every hat, and lose sleep over something you deeply believe in.

We have founded and built companies with our own hands, navigated uncertainty, and felt the weight of responsibility for the team, vision and our community.
