Investment thesis

The fund backs technology companies operating in Moscow across their full lifecycle, from early-stage teams with an idea to mature companies preparing for IPO. It offers grants of up to 1M RUB to accelerator graduates, concessional investment loans of up to 50M RUB for pre-seed/seed projects, loans of up to 300M RUB for scaling companies with revenue, and up to 100M RUB to finance pre-IPO/IPO/bond issuance preparation. As a public development institution, it co-invests alongside partners on a matching basis (1 ruble from the fund for every 1 ruble from partners), attracts co-investors and provides expert support, aiming to help startups turn an MVP into a working business and scale or reach public markets.
