Mission
Our mission is to partner with and support bright and passionate entrepreneurs who are determined to build great companies by solving large, unmet market needs. With a long-established track-record, deep experience and an extensive network of relationships in Silicon Valley, Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Almaz enables its entrepreneurs, venture-capital co-investors, and limited partners to access global opportunities and effectively navigate emerging venture capital markets.
Target Market
We invest 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 Russian and CIS market. The industry sectors that we actively engage, network and research, include software, Internet, digital media, e-commerce, consumer technologies and communications. Selectively, we will also consider related opportunities in fabless semiconductor, optoelectronics, and cleantech. We 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.
