Investing in future unicorns with Miro, Datadog and Zalando founders

We invite you to a private online call dedicated to S16VC, an early-stage venture fund that grew out of a vibrant community of technology entrepreneurs.

The foundation is based on a network of hundreds of founders: the founders of Miro, Datadog, Playrix, HuggingFace, Zalando, Bolt, Supercell, UiPath and other companies. Absolutely all transactions come through personal recommendations within this network — community members recommend entrepreneurs, mentor portfolio companies, and invest with the fund.

S16VC enters startups at the earliest stage, when valuations are minimal and the growth potential is maximum. The next rounds in portfolio companies are then led by CRV, Lightspeed, Index Ventures and other large funds. Two S16VC portfolio companies have already become unicorns — Synthesia (estimated at $4 billion) and Oyster (estimated at $1.1 billion).

At the meeting we will discuss:

• The history and model of S16VC: how an informal community of founders became a fund with returns in the top 10% of global benchmarks.

• Specific portfolio cases and the mechanics of generating transactions through the community.

• The parameters of Fund III and the terms of participation through Raison.

Online call on May 14, 19:00 (Almaty/Astana)
Format: 60 minutes, live Q&A

Speaker: Oleg Bibergan (Goldman Sachs, Harvard) — Managing Partner of S16VC. More than 20 years in investment: an early investor in Miro and five other companies that have grown into unicorns.

Moderator: Andrey Berezin, co-founder of Raison.

Fill out the form to get access to the private call and the link to the broadcast.

🚀 As part of the AI Startup Camp program, participants are moving to the final stage of working on their MVP.
