Guard Capital was founded in 2009 by a group of private Russian investors. Since its inception, the fund has invested in 12 projects and is now considered as a notable player with a diverse venture portfolio of promising projects in the Russian venture capital market.
The fund’s team has many years’ experience of investing in and managing Russian and international companies. We will grow together with the proactive teams which develop breakthrough products and use innovative technologies and business models.
We believe that the Internet segment will be one of the main growth drivers in venture capital markets. This belief is supported by the fact that IT companies are reported to have the fastest capitalization growth rates in Fortune Global 500. Experts agree in their estimates that the number of Russian-speaking Internet users will show an increase of at least 20% in the next three years.
