Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present out latest regular report. As autumn moves on toward the New Year I can say
with confidence that the Russian venture capital market is in a better place than most sectors of the
Russian economy, though it has not yet returned to growth. Positive signs include a substantial
commitment by government to support early-stage projects. In particular, the Generation S accelerator is
selecting projects right across Russia and putting them in touch with strategic customers.
Another interesting development is the appearance of interest in the venture industry from top and middle
managers of the non-technology corporate sector, who are seeing venture investments as an alternative to
(currently depressed) real estate as an object for investment of their company’s spare cash.
Nobody doubts that technologies have penetrated or will penetrate almost every sector of the economy.
This means that investments in venture projects make sense both for private investors and also for
corporations. The latter may view such investments as purely financial or may be in search of new
technologies that can update their business.
This appearance of corporate venture capital funds clearly shows that corporations have grasped the
importance of technologies developed out-of-house for the future of their main business. Large
corporations in many different sectors have now launched their own accelerators or opened venture
investment divisions, from OMZ in metallurgy to NPO Saturn in the aerospace industry, Alfa-Bank in
finance, and Inter RAO and Rosatom in the energy sector. However, the jury is still out as regards
efficiency of these initiatives. We will follow trades and exits from portfolio companies by new corporate
funds and accelerators.
As usual our regular report contains new opinions and interviews by market experts as well as main
indicators for the venture capital industry.
I will be very glad to receive your comments, remarks and suggestions on the Report.
Please send an e-mail to arseniy.dabbakh@rmg-partners.ru.

Key Findings
The Russian venture capital market shrank by one third y-o-y
during 1H2015 in absolute investment amounts (USD). Deal
numbers were down by over a quarter.
The only growth of deal numbers was for start-up projects (with
measurable results in terms of product/service marketing).
The most active investors over the period were state funds,
private funds and business angels (the latter investing either
alone or as a part of a syndicate).
There were only two reported exits from projects (Sapato and
PayOnline) in 1H2015.
There were only handful of active players left on the Russian
non-state VC market by the end of the first half. At the end of
June 2015 no more than 10 private funds were ready to invest
in local projects and around 3-4 funds were ready to consider
investment.
Investors still give preference to B2C projects and the classic IT
and telecom segments.

In this highly challenging year for the Russian innovation industry, those investors who stay
committed to the local market have become very selective in their choice of both early-stage and
relatively mature projects. Investors are making tougher demands on make-up of the project
team, which must include businessmen who push product/service marketing from the outset, and
they are also insisting on a definite development horizon and proven business model. But this
more cautious approach has not averted failures: there was a spate of delays and closures of
start-ups in the first half (Boomy, Mamagazin, Sotmarket, Molotok.ru, Completing, Chooos,
MyRooms and Witget, to name but a few). Ruble decline added to the woes of investors in local
projects, who saw their assets lose 30-50% of their value for this reason alone.
However, investment amounts per project were almost changed y-o-y in 1H2015. This was
because ruble devaluation was offset by growth of investments in ruble terms. Investments in
early-stage projects were between $25,000 and $100,000 (1.5 to 7-8 million rubles) and took
equity stakes between 7% and 30% on average, according to our findings. Over-valuations of
early-stage startups have disappeared in the new harsher environment.
There were only 16 investments in Russian projects at the expansion and growth stage in
1H2015. The strong preference for (relatively inexpensive) start-ups and for projects abroad
reflects the overall cooling of interest in the Russian innovation market this year.

Base market Exits
There were almost no exits from projects by Russian investors in 1H2015 and this is explained
by devaluation of assets. Negative sentiment, which dominated since the summer of 2014, led
many investment funds to cease portfolio expansion, and funds that offered assets on the market
had to accept sales at knock-down prices to non-specialized buyers. Successful M&A operations
were limited in number (Ozon.ru-Sapato-KupiVIP, Payonline-SD Ventures-NetElement).
As investors focused on limiting losses and saving their reputation, “exotic" (for Russia)
investment schemes such as Media4Equity (Prostor Capital), sweat money (MetaBeta, The
Founder Institute), etc. disappeared from the scene.
“We have taken a tougher approach to rating of Russian start-ups, ruble
revenue has become much less attractive due to the unpredictable
exchange rate and low liquidity of these companies. But, we are still
investing in Russian companies that earn dollars.
We focus on technological innovation – management innovation is not
particularly interesting to us. We are ready to take risks, but not at the seed
stage. The Fund monitors firms emerging from foreign accelerators (Y
Combinator, TechStars , etc.) and, in Russia, from the IIDF (Internet
Initiative Development Fund).

Most investments in 1H2015 were made by government funds, private funds and business
angels operating either alone or in syndicates.
At the end of June 2015 only 10 private funds were ready to invest in local projects and about 3-
4 more would consider investing (according to findings of the survey by RMG Partners among
active venture investors). Other non-government investors either refocused on Western markets
or suspended their activity indefinitely. This left the field open to government, which has
broadened the range of subsidies and grants to innovative start-ups, doubling overall funding
through the “Start” and "Development" programmes and removing limits on the number of
applications from one company (this applies to micro grants from the Skolkovo Foundation).
However, the government is now imposing more restrictions on funding applicants. Criteria
include location of intellectual property, biography and employment history of participants, letters
of support from other government agencies, specific forms of contract reporting, non-government
co-funding, etc.
The recent market traumas have brought changes in the management teams of government
funds and development institutions (the Skolkovo Foundation, Ingria, Kazan IT-Park, Moscow
IDC) and also of private funds (Life Sreda, QIWI Venture, Flint Capital).

Market Structure: Stages
Private investors kept their focus on software, Internet (B2B and B2C) and other IT in 1H2015,
mainly because it is easier to agree terms with such projects (thanks to new legislation
concerning deal structuring).
Industrial technologies and bio-technologies remained less popular overall and were of interest
only to institutional investors (including corporates). Corporates that need innovation inputs for
their own business often lack knowledge and contacts to find providers and government is trying
to meet this need by organizing national contests (Generation Start as part of the START
programme of the Support Fund; WebReady organized by the Skolkovo Foundation). Innovation
companies that take part in such contests obtain preference for subsidies, grants and residency
at innovation centers. Prize money is provided entirely by government.
“We have almost completely stopped investing in Russian projects and have
started investing in Silicon Valley. That means that we have stopped making
pre-seed investments and focused on the seed and round A stages. The
average valuation of companies has increased because they are at a later
stage and the size of the rounds has increased. But our average investment
has not changed, or has even decreased a little, enabling us to diversify
more. I see that the number of projects, which work for export or migrate, is
increasing, and there is growing interest from Russian investors in venture
capital investment as a way of taking money out of the country legally.”

Demand for Russian projects focused on the
local market had decreased sharply by the end
of 1H2015. Investors (other than state
development institutions) find the risk of failure
of such projects too high in the current climate.
Interest has therefore shifted to start-ups which
are suitable for global expansion (different
funds are interested in different global regions,
depending on their knowledge), with founders
who can easily transfer their teams abroad and
scale up their businesses, operating from one
of the international start-up hubs (Singapore,
London, Taiwan, San-Francisco, New York, Tel
Aviv, Santiago, etc.). However, the number of
Russian projects that can meet these criteria
has declined significantly, for two main
reasons: 1) businesses with government
participation usually cannot attract a foreign
partner for further development; 2) there is no
established system for technology transfer from
Russia to the rest of the world.

“Funds have definitively understood that capital is not bound by the borders
of one country and have practically stopped investing in Russia. We are
seeing more activity by business angels (especially micro angels), which
have grown in numbers. The market is looking for an alternative to the
Silicon valley model, which hasn’t worked in Russia. Regardless of any
external events we’ve decided to increase our check, switch to later-stage
projects and raise the bar for start-ups. We are ready to invest in technology
start-ups, even if demand is unclear, provided that they are managed by an
experienced team and the expected return correlates with the level of risk.
Market size and potential demand are the most important things for us. The
type of innovation is always secondary.” Dmitry Firskin, investment
manager AltairVC.

Venture Fund Survey
15
As shown by the survey of active venture funds, 1H2015 brought no good news for Russian
investors trying to sell their assets or seeking additional capital for portfolio companies. The
market situation was almost unchanged from the end of 2014. Most funds that stayed in Russia
switched their focus to projects that ticked the following boxes: first sales already made; a clear
market for the product/service; potential for extensive growth on foreign markets; and break-even
point in sight. The survey found that over 50% of funds had raised their requirements for the
project team, making the presence of strong managers into the key criteria and rejecting science
start-ups that lack clear demand for their products.
There has been clear growth in the number of deals sponsored by business angels, including co-
financing by angel syndicates operating as micro-funds at the seed stage. But the increase of
deal numbers has implied reduction of the average amount invested and fragmentation of the
seed stage into sub-stages as investors seek to mitigate risks of start-up bankruptcy.
Three quarters of the funds interviewed by RMG Partners said that they do not use online
services to assess projects, but prefer to attend demonstration events by graduates from
business-incubators and accelerators and to take part in selection and assessment processes.
Most of the respondents believe that the crisis has made them more careful when taking
investment decisions and when entering into partnerships with other market players and
development institutions (including institutional investors and strategic buyers).
The following funds took part in the survey: IIDF, Target Ventures, Maxfield Capital, Moscow
Seed Fund, RMG Partners, VentureClub, Runa Capital, AltairVC, IT-Online Ventures, Starta
Capital.
RB Partners (www.rbpartners.ru) provides
investment banking services as well as investing in
innovative IT projects at seed and early-growth
stages via its affiliate, RB Capital .
Since 2004 RB Partners has successfully closed
more than 60 M&A deals with total value in excess
of USD 1.7 billion and invested in 3 IT ventures in
Moscow and Saint-Petersburg.
Since 2010 RB Partners has been a member of the
Globalscope international association
(www.globalscopepartners.com), which includes 45
investment consulting firms from 37 different countries,
specializing in M&A and corporate finance.
RB Partners group currently comprises the holding company
RB Partners and several portfolio companies, which together
employ more than 100 professionals.

Methodology
Methods used in this research are based on
recommendations developed by the Russian Venture
Capital Association (RVCA) with the help of Russian VC
market players. “Venture capital investments” are defined
as investments of up to 100 million dollars in high-risk, high-
tech and potentially highly profitable projects, targeting IRR
of at least 15%. “Investments” are defined as acquisition of
equity in a non-public company in return for investments
and/or long-term financing with the possibility of equity
conversion (including with suspensive conditions).
Investments may be made by funds (Russian or foreign
legal entities raising capital from more than one source for
direct investment in non-public companies), individuals or
groups of individuals.
Only investments in companies working mainly on the
Russian market were taken into account. Companies
financed by Russian investors, but oriented mostly to
foreign markets were not included the measurement of
Russian VC investments.
In this report “corporations” mean corporate funds (funds
that are financed by their founding organizations from
internal sources, but which may invest in venture
companies not affiliated with the founding organization).
Investments in market infrastructure and exits were not
taken into account. Investments in market infrastructure
mean investments in VC funds, business incubators,
business accelerators, technoparks and other institutions
that work in the venture market but are not venture
companies.
Our estimate of VC investment market size includes grants
and investment loans. These sums were included in the
total market size (even though a grant is a non-repayable
subsidy for research and development), since, like
repayable investments, they are used to finance commercial
VC projects.
This Report distinguishes four main stages in the
development of VC projects, as follows
Seed: the project exists only on paper or as a result of
laboratory research.
Start-up: a company is being set up or has been operating
already for a short time, but it has not yet sold its products
for money.
Growth: commercial production, first turnover from sales.
Expansion: expansion of sales, market share, output, office
space, etc.
In the deal list below we also define project advancement by
the funding stage reached in 1H2015. We refer to the first
round of investments as “Seed”, followed by rounds A, B, C,
and denote any further stages as C+
We group all VC projects into 7 sectors: biotechnologies;
industrial technologies; computer technologies and
hardware; other technologies; B2B software/Internet; B2C
software/Internet; other IT.
Biotechnologies: healthcare, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics
and medical equipment development.
Industrial technologies: laser, energy, aerospace
technologies, robotics, green and other technologies for
industrial use.
Computer technologies and hardware: telecommunications,
data storage, mobile technologies and computer hardware.
Software/Internet – B2B: applications and web services
whose clients are enterprises (business management,
marketing, IT product development solutions, etc.).
Software/Internet – B2C: applications and web services
whose clients are individuals (e-commerce, content
provision, search engines, consumer finance solutions,
education, games, social networks, etc.).
The information used in the table of deals below was taken
from mass media, open databases (Rusbase, AngelList,
etc.), and internal sources of RMG Partners.
