ARS Capital, the holding company of businessman Maxim Krippa, has acquired 100% of Age Management System, which works on projects in the health tech and biotech sectors, the company’s press office told the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
“This is a long-term investment in the technology and medical ecosystem that will help people maintain their quality of life, mental health, energy, and productivity for longer. We want modern preventive medicine technologies to gradually become accessible to every Ukrainian,” commented Maxim Krippa, CEO of ARS Capital.
Age Management System, founded by Yevhen Shagov, a physician and candidate of medical sciences, specializes in preventive medicine, personalized health management, and age management, and is developing as an ecosystem that integrates clinical, educational, and technological areas. Its flagship product, AM System, provides long-term medical support: comprehensive diagnostics, consultations with specialized experts, management of metabolic and hormonal indicators, personalized health support programs, IV therapy, and biotechnological and hardware solutions.
The investment in Age Management System is a continuation of ARS Capital’s strategy to expand its portfolio in the fields of biotechnology and nanotechnology. Full control over the business allows the holding company to formulate a long-term development strategy for the company and scale its ecosystem.
ARS Capital identifies fostering a culture of preventive medicine as one of its promising areas of focus—a culture in which health care begins long before the onset of disease and becomes part of one’s lifestyle. Mental health support and assistance for individuals who have survived the traumatic experience of war will also be an important component of Age Management
System. In particular, the company is considering the development of programs aimed at providing professional assistance and rehabilitation for people with PTSD.
The holding company also plans to strengthen the Age Management System’s technological infrastructure and implement modern hardware solutions.
AM System was founded as one of Ukraine’s first specialized clinics in the field of age management. When creating the project, the team drew on international experience in preventive medicine, particularly practices in Japan, Europe, and the United States.
According to YouControl data, the authorized capital of JSC “ZNVKIF ‘Age Management Ecosystems’” amounts to 107.5 million UAH; On March 12, Krippa bought out Marina Shagova’s stake after she exited the fund; Maxim Krippa and Yevgen Shagov previously held equal 50% stakes in the fund.

TAScombank is launching a new mobile app for individual customers in August 2026; development costs have already exceeded $2 million, according to the bank’s chairman, Volodymyr Dubey.
According to him, the final cost of the project has not yet been determined, as work on the app is still ongoing.
“We haven’t been developing our apps for the past two years because we’re transitioning to a new one. There’s no point in investing money in an old app that runs on an outdated platform,” Dubey said in an interview with Liga.net.
The new app is also intended to be part of the bank’s preparations for the implementation of Open Banking, which could intensify competition among banks and expand customers’ ability to use the services of multiple financial institutions simultaneously.
TAScombank previously developed sportbank as a separate digital brand for retail customers. In its final year of operation, the project became self-sustaining and began to generate a small profit, and the bank’s investment in it has almost completely paid off, Dubey noted.
He estimated the cost of launching a full-fledged fintech project, including app development, at at least $10 million.
According to the National Bank, as of June 1, 2026, TAScombank, with total assets of 56.45 billion UAH, ranked 15th among Ukraine’s 58 solvent banks.
