We Stand With Ukraine 
KITRUM Became the Top Tampa-Based Company
KITRUM became the top company according to the Best of Clearwater Award in the Software Company category by the Clearwater Award Program in 2022. The program annually chooses and honors the achievements of local businesses throughout the Clearwater area. The winner is selected among companies that enhance the positive image of small businesses through service to their customers and community.
This recognition is a result of KITRUM’s dedication and efforts and the work of the employees who are helping to build the business. The reward goes to the company that uses best practices to grow its business despite challenging economic times. Indeed, it was one of the most challenging periods for KITRUM due to the russian war in Ukraine.
Though founded in Clearwater, the company has more than 50% of its employees in Ukraine. Since 2019 the company has shown growth of 6,799% and gained more than 60 clients worldwide. 2022 was supposed to be a year of breakthroughs. Still, since the end of February, instead of implementing business strategies, Vlad Kytainyk and his team had to follow different scenarios: how to help the team get out from the territories under massive attacks.
“When you get a full-scale war invasion from another country considered the second most powerful in the world, you don’t think of business much. You think of how to save your business, how to save your family,” – said Vlad Kytainik, the founder of KITRUM, in an interview for Tampa Bay Times.
The interview united six companies, which made it to the Inc. 5000 list, the list of the fastest-growing companies in America. KITRUM is one of them. Six months into the war, the company’s business is stronger than before. Kytainyk told Inc. the company expects to double its revenue to $19 million in 2022.
Having helped relocate the employees and keep all of the company’s clients due to the relations built on mutual trust, KITRUM felt the strength to grow despite the volatility. Since then, KITRUM has signed five new clients and started working on several new projects. The company also implemented new KPIs, such as regular donations, to help Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“It’s not only my credit. All of this is possible due to KITRUM’s hardworking team. At the time of greatest weakness, they showed the most incredible strength. None of them stopped working. Instead, they showed professionalism, devotion to what they do, and great belief in the company,” – says Vlad.
KITRUM continues to develop software for fortune enterprises, new ventures, NGOs, and private tech companies and hires the best software developers from around the world: Poland, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Latin America. The clients usually highlight the efficiency of the development team and transparent processes and project management, which keeps the team on target and ensures effective communication.
The people are of the highest value to KITRUM. That’s why they hire those who share the same spirit. That’s how the company composed the team of doers, not just thinkers. Hiring KITRUM guarantees the client the most efficient solution for their technical task in the most realistic deadlines.
