"There are not enough Russian companies, and it is important for us now to increase our presence in the media space. For example, in the GoTech competition we have a whole direction on security, according to which we select projects"

We don't invest without a team

"Advertising revenue is not the most stable stream. That's why we founded an international investment company and are looking for not only media projects, but also consumer business models (B2C, B2B2C) - something we understand. We like marketplaces and transactional businesses.
We invest - there are a couple of companies at the seed stage, but we often make follow-up investments at a later stage.
How do we look for projects? Through competitions, and we also look for projects ourselves. We are ready to buy companies and remain a co-investor.
We recently bought Vinted.com, which has 11 million users - a marketplace. The average share for us is 15-20%, now in Russia - two transactions.
We act as a financial investor or as media4equity - we advertise on our resources with big discounts or by entering into the capital"

Konstantin Sinyushin, The Untitled Venture Company BV, is happy that the crisis happened now, and regrets that it did not happen two years ago - when there was a boom of startups due to the "fashion" for creating projects.

"We are interested in projects in the context of media and brand. The market is not structured, it was structured only through PR - something was given to the space, and something was received back. That is why we distanced ourselves from the brand and went down the path of cooperation and thematic events - with GoTech we make a nomination about retail and look at projects not at the level of winners, but the entire block. Sometimes we help interesting projects at the idea level to attract angel investments"
