We invite you to a private online meeting with Nick Davydov, co-founder and managing partner of the DVC Foundation.

Nick lives in Silicon Valley and runs one of the most widely read Russian-language blogs about artificial intelligence. The blog's audience exceeds 150,000 people.

Together with his wife Marina, the co-founder of the fund, Nick gathered a community of more than 200 investors around DVC: business angels, engineers from OpenAI, Google and Meta, and the founders of companies like Perplexity AI and TradingView. They bring transactions to the fund, work with portfolio companies, and share in the profits. Such a network gives the fund access to rounds that are closed to external investors.

Today, DVC's portfolio includes more than 240 companies, including 7 unicorns.

DVC AI Fund I is a fund with a target volume of $75 million that invests in AI startups in Series A and B rounds.

Notable fund deals include Perplexity AI and Higgsfield AI.

We'll discuss it during the call.:

• The first results of the DVC AI Fund I. Nick will analyze the latest status by company and tell you which indicators the team is monitoring first.
• How the foundation's community works. Who brings deals, how investors help companies, and why the fund is given a place in closed rounds.
• How startups are selected. Where the fund's own analysis system works, and where the decision is left to the individual.
• Where does profit come from in the AI world? Energy, chips, clouds, and finished products live in different economies, and Nick will explain which layers the fund puts on.
• Terms of participation for Raison clients.

Online call on September 30, 20:00 (Almaty/Astana).

Format: 60 minutes, live Q&A.

Speaker: Nick Davydov, co-founder and Managing Partner of DVC. 

Moderator: Andrey Berezin, co-founder of Raison. 

If you want to invest in AI companies before they go public, this call will give you a complete picture of the fund's strategy, risks, and terms of participation.

The meeting is closed, participation is subject to pre-registration via the link.
