The Entrepreneurs launched izrestorana.ru, Russia’s first online food delivery site, partnering with more than 500 restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and foodonclick.com in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, with 500 partner restaurants. They aim to expand to 10 cities in Russia, as well as some other countries, and to reach 50 cities in Turkey by the end of 2011.

With Endeavor’s support, they attended the 2010 Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship in Washington, D.C.
