Roman Abramovich invested $ 2.5 million in Israeli innovative startups

Abramovich has invested in two Israeli start-ups: a million dollars in the Safer Place project, which records violations on the roads, and a half million dollars in the online shopping service Mobilibuy . The representative of the company Millhouse, controlled by Abramovich, John Mann, said that this time, apart from the businessman, no one invested in projects.

February 1 last year, the Israeli company Nielsen Innovate has invested 550 thousand dollars in Mobilibuy. This application is for smartphones based on iOS and Android, which allows you to buy goods by directing the camera at a printed or electronic advertisement.

Safer Place technology is capable of registering road violations such as crossing a full line, non-observance of marking, road signs, and even phone conversations while driving.

Roman Abramovich owns a share in the Impulse VC fund. Recently, the fund invested in the music service of the Music Messenger . At the end of May, the businessman invested half a million dollars in the Medviser online medical consultation remote platform .

Megamind also wrote that in March, Millhouse Capital, controlled by Roman Abramovich, invested in another Israeli startup, iAngels . This is a crowdfunding platform that allows private investors to invest money along with large business angels.

According to AngelList , the average Silicon Valley project at the seed stage is estimated at $ 4.9 million, and the Russian one at $ 3.4 million. And in Israel, the project at the same stage costs from $ 1.5 to $ 2.5 million, said Rustam Tiger, the founder of Tiger Consulting Group , to Vedomosti.

Alexander Turkot, Managing Partner of Maxfield Capital, believes that projects are better supported in Israel than in Russia. The demand for innovative projects in Israel is greater. And the average age of the founders of startups is over 35 years. Most often at this age, entrepreneurs can already afford to start the development of the project at their own expense, adds Turkot.
