In 2005, Nival Interactive, a branch of Nival, entered into a buy-out agreement with Ener1 Group, a Florida- based holding company, for an estimated sum of $10 million. In November 30, 2007, Orlovskiy regained full control of the company.

Through the years, Nival Interactive’s business has grown by leaps and bounds including a merger with Nival Network to form a new company named Nival. The company was able to raise a total of $6 Million in a funding round led by Almaz Capital in December of 2013 which will be used to fund the company’s plans to expand globally.
