Why is venture capital important? And why in biotech?
Technological leadership begins with bold venture investments - they create an ecosystem where innovations that change the world are born

Biotech in the world is one of the leading venture industries, not inferior to IT in terms of investment volume. At the same time, in the Russian Federation there are no venture funds in the "bio" field in the investment phase

Focus of the new fund
“Never invest in a business you don’t understand… stay within your zone of competence.” (Warren Buffett)
That is why our focus is biotech (in the broad sense): first of all, the development of new medicines and medical devices, as well as innovative biotech solutions for the rapidly developing agricultural and food industries.
An important component of a successful project is protecting exclusivity
At the same time, during the selection process, we carefully analyze the possibilities for entry, theoretical and experimental prerequisites for an advantage - both over competitors in the market and in development - ideally, at the global level, or (at least) in the Russian Federation/EAEU market.
The project must first and foremost be aimed at solving an unmet market need.
Именно поэтому наш фокус – биотех
(в широком понимании): прежде всего, разработка новых лекарственных средств и медизделий, а также инновационные биотех-решения для бурно развивающегося с/х и пищевой индустрии
«Никогда не инвестируйте в бизнес, который вы не можете понять… оставайтесь в пределах своей зоны компетенции» (Уоррен Баффет).
Broad coverage, diversification
and best global practices
  • All facets of "biotech": from pharmaceuticals and medical technology to agro- and foodtech
  • From Smart Import Substitution
    to Global Innovations
  • Investment focus: from newly created startups at the stage of scientific hypothesis to mature public companies with revenue
  • Fusion of breakthrough scientific ideas
    with the best evidence-based practices of the global industry
  • Unique tools for expanding the project funnel:
    • Venture Partners Institute (= targeted support in competent startup construction)
    • Unicorn Junior: pre-seed investments to test a scientific or marketing hypothesis, IP formation, etc.
    • Unicorn Royalty Ventures: buyout of future royalty flow

Main criteria
Innovative (first- or best-in-class) pharmaceuticals or medical devices, as well as biotech products and technologies for agriculture or the food industry
"Smart" import-substituting products or technologies in the same areas
Focus on solving an unmet market need, at least in the Russian Federation
Scientific prerequisites for innovation or “Smart” import substitution, supported by at least preliminary experimental data

Russian legal entities, while the idea around which the startup is built can be licensed from abroad (if this is not associated with sanctions risks)
The presence of a team with relevant experience in startup development, or the willingness of the founders to strengthen it if necessary.
Protection of exclusivity, or the obvious possibility of such protection in the Russian Federation and (preferably) in the world

Project stage – almost any.

Generics, biosimilars, and other direct “copies” of existing products and technologies for which the exclusivity protection period has expired

Developments with a history of multiple failures and insufficient scientific evidence to support the viability of new approaches

General diagnostic tests, including genetic ones, do not allow scientifically based adjustments to further treatment tactics

Any developments that do not meet the requirements of scientific evidence: homeopathy, dietary supplements, general health medical equipment, entertainment diagnostics, biohacking, etc.
Projects with expected IRR less than 30%

The implementation of the project is associated with sanctions risks
Platform technologies without at least one product that has experimentally demonstrated its advantages over the competition
