RVC’s discussion on private capital in venture sphere

 RVC’s discussion on private capital in venture sphere LP Unlimited conference for existing and potential investors in technology startups - Limited Partners and General Partners took place within the forum Open Innovations to discuss the prospects of private and corporate investment in venture industry.

The founder of Medica Venture Partners Ehud Geller noted that the state's involvement in venture projects is a global trend. The expert believes that there is a growing innovation gap between countries: the states with a large number of innovations are the leaders, leaving behind the countries with no advanced technology sphere.

According to the chief portfolio manager and member of the Board of JSC RVC Michael Tsygankov, RVC is an active investor in venture projects, and the objective of the company is to attract private investors to cooperate in venture capital investment. RVC is developing new venture capital funds now and carries out the selection of managing teams. RVC has never been the sole investor in venture capital funds, but now plans to reduce its share in the future funds, which may not exceed 20% in some cases. The company is ready to cooperate with all kinds of investors with different investment focuses - with corporations, family offices, pension funds and other types of investors.

The managing partner of Bright Capital Michael Chuchkevich noted that family offices in Russia are organized by the first-generation entrepreneurs who manage their own savings. They do not trust managing companies and believe that they are good managers. At the same time their children who will receive the capital through inheritance, will hire professional managers to make large profits, and private investments can become a tool for obtaining a high income.

At the panel discussion General Partnership: a success story, the experts noted that today it is too early to talk about a successful withdrawal from innovative start-ups in Russia - they are too young, the oldest ones are not more than 5 years. In future years the projects that are invested by the development institutions - RVC, Rusnano, Skolkovo - will be offered to investors, and the first investment return to the venture area will take place.
