Investment thesis
SPRINT 2.0 is a free, state-funded accelerator for Russian IT startups, financed through the federal project 'Domestic Solutions' under the national 'Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State' program. Built on FRII/IIDF methodology and drawing on experience accelerating over 2000 companies, the three-month program helps IT teams identify growth constraints, set goals, attend a learning module, meet weekly with trackers, and receive individual expert consultations. Successful projects present at a demo day before investors, corporations, and development institutions. Participation requires passing a competitive selection process, and the program offers partner perks such as cloud grants and hosting rather than direct investment.
