Attracting investment in web development. October 2007, Kiev, UA WEB.

Within the framework of UA WEB (October 2007, Kiev), as well as at RIT-2007 , there will be a section called “Business in Web Development”, in addition to interesting cases about how someone has done something, again we want to hold an investment section. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time at RIT to arrange a larger scale fair than a couple of projects, I hope this time to turn out better. Although even this example was indicative. We left two teams that sent their investment memorandums. One was prepared poorly, the other on the contrary very well. The guys presented their projects, then the technical gurus carried them in questions and answers, and then the investors. It turned out great. Especially the end of the second, strong presentation about active video technology. All the representatives of investors took turns standing up and offered the team to continue the dialogue. The last of them, Sergey Eremin from Microsoft, gave a generally wonderful phrase “Have you ever thought about cooperation with a large corporation? Microsoft is interested in continuing the dialogue. ” It was five, from the audience except that the whistle of approval was not heard. True, I didn’t track how the search for this team ended, but I think they still got my $ 3.5 million.



It was a test run, and investors (IBS, Microsoft, FINAM, Martison Trigon) were satisfied. So it will be necessary to repeat. Moreover, in Ukraine, the interest and activity of venture investors in the field of the web is now at a high level. These are mini-conferences and master classes that they organize. Therefore, write, discuss your projects and participation.
