History
2023: Attracting 5 million rubles of investments from the IIDF
At the end of October 2023, the Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF) announced the investment of 5 million rubles in Finaks. As a result of the transaction, IIDF received a 7% stake in the startup. Taking into account these figures, it turns out that the bank guarantee aggregator could be estimated at at least 71 million rubles.
Finaks has become one of seven startups the IIDF has invested in as part of its 19th accelerator set. As noted in the fund, when choosing companies for investment, the IIDF was guided by the following criteria: IT (software, hardware, web, mobile), there is a finished product and there are customers, a proven business model with repeated revenues of 5 million rubles a year, the company is registered in Russia, at least 25% of the business belongs to citizens of the Russian Federation.
The selection was also difficult due to the fact that in search of projects with a dividend approach we came across a layer of entrepreneurs who were not immersed in the topic of the venture capital industry. In fact, today investors need to re-train the layer of founders. This is a new reality in which we all have to work, - said Maxim Steigerwald, Investment Director of the IIDF. |
