About Us

We believe that entrepreneurs are extraordinary. Our DFJ-VTB Aurora team consists of investors who have also founded and built companies, so we know how to help because we've been there ourselves. Our philosophy is to provide support to help you turn your idea or technology into a self-sustaining business with tangible value, building far-reaching innovative companies in the Russian Federation and CIS.

DFJ-VTB Aurora initially invests $500,000 to $3,000,000 in businesses that are either founded in Russia, or have plans to develop an R&D, manufacturing or sales/distribution presence in the region. Additional capital is also reserved for follow-on investment as the business successfully achieves key milestones. For companies that may require a larger initial capital infusion, we will also consider co-investing within a syndicate.
