About IIDF

IIDF stands for Internet Initiatives Development Fund. According to Dow Jones, we are the most active early-stage venture fund in Russia and Europe.

Since 2013, we have invested and accelerated more than 315 IT startups. This spring, we launched the international acceleration program "Techmafia" which helps Russian tech companies to adapt their products, get their first clients and accelerate their growth in the USA. Our initial participants have since made their first sales in the USA, agreed to pilot projects with American companies and now are developing their businesses on the global market.

We believe that Russian founders make great products that should be launched on global markets. That’s why we came up with RUSSIAN STARTUPS GO GLOBAL where startups are able to meet foreign investors and identify opportunities for scaling abroad.
