Almaz Capital Partners invests in privately-held, Russian and CIS related, Technology, Media and Communications (TMC) companies and is backed by leading institutions, including Cisco Systems, the worldwide leader in networking, and UFG Asset Management, the leading asset management firm in Russia.

We seek to partner with bright and passionate entrepreneurs and management teams who are on a mission to solve large, unmet needs and build great companies.

Almaz Capital Partners invests in companies with “proven technologies” for global markets, which may be headquartered outside of the CIS region, and companies with “proven business models” that serve the CIS market. The industry sectors that we actively engage, network and research, include software, Internet, digital media, e-commerce, consumer technologies, communications, fabless semiconductor, optoelectronics, and clean-tech. Generally, we endeavor to invest in companies across three phases of maturity: product development, growth and profitability.

Almaz Capital Partners is highly selective, but once we commit to an investment we strive to apply our deep industry relationships, hands-on experience in building businesses, and understanding of both Russian/CIS and Western cultures, to help our companies more effectively and efficiently execute their business plan, and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
