By being in VC ecosystem development in Central Eurasia for many years, so glad to see how the market is rapidly growing. Now we observe not just quantity or startups, but quality. Great to see our portfolio companies from MOST Ventures in this list 🚀 Need to mention that I know all of the founders here and that’s what differentiate us from other funds. It’s our ecosystem (including VC funds, physical hubs, accelerator, and investor club) which allows us to meet great talents on early stage, observe their progress and may be become partners later
