It is usually considered that startups should take as much investment as they can give. At the same time, many people forget that for their money the investor takes a share in the project - and the more investments, the greater the share the investor wants.
On the one hand, in order to bring the project to a full-fledged launch, it usually takes about 100 thousand dollars. On the other hand, the startup should be given the opportunity to give the process as little as possible to investors in the process.
How to satisfy everyone?

Glavstart is ready to start by giving as little money as possible to a startup. 20 thousand dollars for 10% of the project.
Do not just give and forget - who survives will survive - but explain to startups how this money can and should be really spent in order to get something that can cause greater trust among investors. And help implement it in the process. We will begin to explain this at the
Startup Weekend in
Moscow , which will be held in February, where we will use the examples of your ideas and projects to help you develop a scheme for obtaining the first results with minimal investment. Those who manage to do this will be able to receive investments from Glavstart almost during the final presentation on Sunday.
After successfully completing the first stage of investment and getting the intended results, a start-up can receive from Glavstart the next round in the amount of 40 thousand dollars for 15% of the project - already on the increased evaluation of the project. Or find any other investor with the best investment conditions for the concrete result obtained at the first stage. After the successful completion of the second Glavstartovskogo round - get another round from Glavstart in the amount of 40 thousand dollars, but already for 10% - the assessment of the project is even higher. Or, again, find any other investor with the best investment conditions.
Thus, we, on the one hand, guarantee the project our support on previously known conditions until the full launch of the project - up to 100 thousand dollars and up to a year on conditions that constantly increase the evaluation of the project. And, on the other hand, we give a startup in the development process an opportunity to find and choose the most comfortable financing conditions for it.
In addition to the described option at $ 20K / 10% + $ 40K / 15% + $ 40K / 10%, there is another option $ 60K / 25% + $ 40K / 10%, and also there remains a “classic” option $ 100K / 35-45 % for projects that really need a long development period before launch. The option of the investment process is discussed by us together with the authors of the startup - the option that suits both parties is chosen.
