Sergey Dmitriev (Russian: Сергей Дмитриев, born 11 March 1966) is a Russian entrepreneur, the founder of JetBrains. Since 2000, Dmitriev has resided in Prague.[2][3]
In 1999, Dmitriev, together with his colleagues Valentin Kipyatkov and Evgeny Belyaev, moved to Prague to work in the company TogetherSoft. In 2000, they founded the JetBrains company, to which each of them invested around a couple of thousand dollars from personal savings. The first product introduced by the company was the integrated development environment software IntelliJ IDEA, and the company quickly began to gain momentum. A few years later, Belyaev left the company. As of 2022, one of the most famous JetBrain's products is the programming language Kotlin, which was released in 2016. In 2017, Google recognized Kotlin as one of the official Android languages.[3][4][5][6] The company has branches in Germany, Netherlands, United States, Russia, and Czech Republic.[3]
As a reaction to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the company officially condemned the war, and Dmitriev and Kipyatkov decided to close their offices in Russia, offering their employees relocation abroad.[7]
Sergey Dmitriev made the 2022 Forbes Billionaires List with an estimated wealth of $4.1 billion and occupied the 687th position.[2]
