What Skillspace does

Skillspace (legal entity ООО «СКИЛЛСПЕЙС», founded 2019, Moscow) is a cloud-based, all-in-one learning management system (LMS) sold as SaaS to Russian-speaking creators of online courses. The platform combines, in a single web application, a no-code course builder (supporting lectures, tests, graded assignments, and live webinars across 12 content formats), a landing-page constructor with built-in analytics pixels, integrated Russian payment processing (T-Bank, Yookassa, Prodamus, Mandarin) with 54-FZ-compliant online cash register receipting, a native webinar product with chat, polls, recording, and Russian-hosted video integrations (RuTube, Kinescope), an in-platform messenger, a homework-and-grading module, certificate issuance with QR verification and anti-counterfeiting serial numbers, anti-piracy copy protection, role-based team management, and a tariff engine supporting up to nine pricing tiers per course with promo codes and trial periods. The technology stack is PHP/Symfony with Node.js/NestJS on the server side and Vue 3 on the client, persisting to MySQL and MongoDB; the platform is registered in the Russian Ministry of Digital Development Software Registry (No. 16538, 03.02.2023) and operates under Federal Law 152-FZ personal-data requirements with data stored on Russian infrastructure.

The company sells to four primary segments: individual experts and beginner course authors needing a turnkey solution; operating online schools and academies scaling and automating workflows; corporate HR teams conducting employee training, onboarding, and customer education; and universities, continuing-education programs, and government institutions requiring attendance monitoring, certificate issuance, and Russian-compliant reporting. Distribution is hybrid product-led: free 14-day unrestricted trial, self-serve registration at skillspace.ru, modular monthly/annual subscription pricing with a 30% new-customer discount, a referral/affiliate program, plus personalized demo-led sales for enterprise and government customers. Marketing relies on content (blog, help center), organic Russian-language channels (VK, Telegram, YouTube), and earned reputation through 400+ reviews averaging 4.8/5.0. The company claims 6,000+ active schools/companies and self-describes as the fastest-growing Russian online-course platform in 2023/2024, although revenue is not publicly disclosed and no external funding rounds or M&A activity are reported.
