VCs On a Plane [to Russia]
Accel Partners, DFJ and August Capital are among 20 or so venture capital firms taking the trip to Russia this month to learn about the Russian market and local technology companies. The VC Trip To Russia will take place in Moscow on May 25 -27, 2010. At least one location company, Vstrecher, will be presenting at the event (more on them soon).
It is worth it to point out that The VC Trip To Russia is organized by the state-owned Rusnano – a $5 bln. fund headed by the Russian privatization chief Anatoly Chubais.
