Overview

Almaz Capital was founded in 2008 to invest in early stage startups in the CIS (commonwealth of independent states) and CEE (central and eastern Europe) region with the backing of Cisco Systems and the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development).

Almaz Capital set out to invest and build a bridge between investee companies from the newly independent countries of the former Soviet Union to resources and connections in Silicon Valley. With that intention the firm opened its first offices in Silicon Valley and Moscow. During that period Almaz supported many startups with origins in Russia, such as QIK (acquired by Skype), Yandex (NASDAQ:YNDX) or Parallels (acquired by Corel).

Almaz’ third fund is backed by EIF (European Investment Fund) and the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development), and is focused on financing deep-tech companies from the CEE regions with a bridge between Berlin and Silicon Valley.
