DST Global is an investment firm specializing in late-stage growth, primarily in the consumidor[1] internet[2] sector. Founded by Yuri Milner in 2009, it serves as the primary investment vehicle post the IPO of Mail.ru Group, a company initially founded as Digital Sky Technologies. DST Global has made investments in over 80 companies, largely outside Russia, driven by business rationale rather than geopolitical interests. The firm is known for its unique investment strategy which includes not seeking board seats in significant deals, thus empowering company founders. It maintains offices in various global locations, including Menlo Park, New York, London, Beijing, and Hong Kong, with its funds’ registered office in the Cayman Islands. DST Global has played a pivotal role in shaping the global tech landscape while maintaining a strong stance on geopolitical issues such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Definições de termos
1. consumidor. A consumer, in simple terms, is an individual who purchases goods or services for their personal use and not for resale or commercial purposes. They play a significant role in the economy as their demand for products motivates manufacturers to produce. This dynamic influences production, distribution, and consumption processes. Consumers also have certain rights, established by President John F. Kennedy, that include safety, information, choice, redressal, and representation. These rights protect them from hazardous goods and unfair practices. In today's digital age, consumers are evolving into 'prosumers', actively participating in product creation. Consumer behavior, therefore, has a profound impact on marketing strategies, leading to personalized marketing and mass customization.
2. internet. A Internet é um sistema global de redes informáticas interligadas que utilizam protocolos de comunicação normalizados, principalmente o TCP/IP, para ligar dispositivos em todo o mundo. Com origem no termo "internetted" utilizado em 1849, o termo "Internet" foi mais tarde utilizado pelo Departamento de Guerra dos EUA em 1945. O seu desenvolvimento começou com cientistas informáticos que criaram sistemas de partilha de tempo na década de 1960 e progrediu com a criação da ARPANET em 1969. A Internet é autónoma, sem uma autoridade central, e os seus principais espaços de nomes são administrados pela Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Transformou significativamente os meios de comunicação tradicionais e tem crescido exponencialmente ao longo dos anos, com os utilizadores da Internet a aumentarem anualmente de 20% para 50%. Em 2019, mais de metade da população mundial utilizou a Internet. O conjunto de protocolos da Internet, que inclui o TCP/IP e quatro camadas conceptuais, orienta os pacotes da Internet para os seus destinos. Serviços essenciais como o correio eletrónico e a telefonia via Internet funcionam na Internet. A World Wide Web, uma coleção global de documentos interligados, é uma componente essencial da Internet.
