Aspire VC’s approach is to identify and finance fast-growing companies in Russia and the CIS with strong entrepreneur management teams, then to work with them so that their companies achieve market leadership and generate competitive long-term returns on invested capital.

The funds under Aspire VC’s management provide equity and equity-related debt financing to small and medium-sized high-growth companies operating in such sectors as   media, telecom, technology and other, mainly consumer-oriented, sectors. 

We seek to add value in the following ways:

• Assist in developing a company’s administrative and financial support;
  
• Advise on corporate formation and structure, legal and financial issues, with  emphasis on transparency;
• Assist in structuring personnel benefit programs, including performance-based incentive compensation;
• Assume an active Board role in portfolio companies to provide strategic guidance along with capital;
• Benchmark the operations of each portfolio company to international standards;
• Introduce portfolio company managers to decision-makers in Russia and elsewhere to forge strategic partnerships and alliances;
• Enable access to later-stage investors as well as other sources of debt or equity
