We do not need money - let's go projects

A certain event was attended here, at which Russian venture capital investors, Chubais and other smaller ones, gathered. The impression is funny ... The main message from all these Russian capitalists is that we have megatons of dough, but there is absolutely no place to attach it, there are no normal projects ready for investment, there are no brains that would bring projects to an adequate stage and make innovative business.

Some kind of deja vu - about four years ago the same thing was heard, and it's still there. Just some kind of humanitarian disaster.

Ok, this is all the lyrics, but from the practical, potentially useful, this is what: the general director of the Russian Venture Company, Igor Agamirzyan, produces the impression of a completely sane person. Such a scientist, with a high thought on his brow, unlike most "effective managers" (TM). And RVC has just launched a seed investment fund - if anyone does not know, this is the financing of projects at the earliest stages. Telecom and IT in the interests of RVC occupy, of course, a tiny share, and besides, projects should fit into the country's strategic priorities and te pe. But you never know. You never know how to fit in, but at RVK there is at least real money and, it seems, a normal guide.

So if someone has really interesting ideas - IMHO it makes sense to look at RVC more closely. But, I repeat, projects should be more or less adequately prepared for presentation to the investor.
