Prosto VC is a Russian-language angel syndicate and investor club that operates on a deal-by-deal basis, enabling both experienced and novice investors to co-invest in outstanding global startups with individual checks starting from $10,000. The club curates high-potential deals across three branches: classic early-stage ventures (Seed–Series A), late-stage / pre-IPO positions in unicorns, and Web3 projects — spanning Silicon Valley startups, emerging markets (LatAm, Southeast Asia), and blockchain ecosystems. As stated by co-founder Alex Belov: 'The club focuses on investing specifically in startups — purely venture projects… Our club has 3 branches: classic early-stage ventures (seed–round A), late-stage, and web3. Each branch has different levels of risk and potential returns.' Prosto VC co-invests alongside top-tier funds such as Sequoia and a16z, and emphasises portfolio diversification, deal flow quality, and community expertise as its core value proposition.
Notable quotes
“The club focuses on investing specifically in startups = purely venture projects. We don't look at more 'traditional' instruments like real estate, foundations, or traditional businesses. Only startups, only hardcore.”
“The integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain may be interesting if it leads to the creation of so-called 'smart contracts' with automatic execution. This will significantly speed up financial transactions, providing users with more transparent and safe investment tools.”
“We now have 2 theses. External: Venture is simple. And internal: Make venture sexy again!”
