Where can a startup find an investor, what will happen to the venture capital market and what not to talk about if you want to raise capital?

Eugene Borisov, partner at investment firm KAMA FLOW, talks about venture capital in an era of change in a new episode of the Causing Benefit podcast.

What was talked about:

🔹The key rate may remain high for a very long time, so the market conjuncture on the 2-3 year horizon is not very rosy.

🔹 Nevertheless, there is activity on the Russian market, just participants have become more experienced and are thoughtfully studying projects.

🔹Transactions at the Pre-IPO stage are highly overvalued, this is the reality of today's market in Russia.

🔹Focusing on the valuation of a company does not inspire investor confidence. If a project focuses on the size of the capital, it is a toxic dialogue. You need to talk to the investor about future plans.

🔹 KAMA FLOW scrutinises new projects and responds to all emails in any format, so every startup that applies has a chance.
