What's the venture capital market like in Belarus? What kind of options are there for a growing SaaS business, in regards to either angel investors or traditional venture capital firms?


Generally speaking, the are no VC is Belarus.

However, we do have some great success stories (e.g. AIMatter (was acquired by Google), MSQRD (was acquired by Facebook)).

Most promising startups incorporate in US from day one and raise money there. In addition, there are number of funds in Russia or Ukraine.

In other words, if you have an interesting idea, you will find money or money will find you :)


Can’t believe you didn’t mention wargaming they are actually a unicorn.


I agree. I have not listed many cool companies. It is a long and IMHO impressive list.

TargetProcess, PandaDoc, FriendlyData, Eightydays.me, Maps.me (was acquired by Mail.Ru Group), SplitMetrics etc. Plus the biggest company is Epam (Market Cap, 7.406B).
