In order to join the community, you need to fill in the Questionnaire on our website by clicking on the "Join Activat Startup Entrepreneur Community" button. After filling out the Questionnaire, a manager will contact you and you will be added to the Telegram chat of the community of entrepreneurs.

  1. All applications from startups are received by Activat VC. Those applications that comply with the Investment Declaration of our company are submitted to the Investment Committee for consideration.
  2. The startup is invited to the Preliminary Investment Committee, where it presents its project to the members of the Activat VC Investment Committee and answers questions. If the Investment Committee makes a positive decision, the startup moves to the due diligence stage. 
  3. The due diligence lasts from 2 to 3 weeks, during which the specialists study the project, double-check information, calculations and submitted documents. The goal of the specialists, without trusting only the startup's statements, is to get the most objective picture on all the most important issues specified in the application.
  4. After due diligence, the members of the Investment Committee gather together with the startup founders and each specialist voices his or her conclusion about the project in his or her area of expertise. The startup founders have an opportunity to give their comments.
  5. After the final discussion, the Investment Committee members make a final decision on whether to invest in the project.
  6. If our funds are insufficient or we believe that it is advisable to share the risks, we submit such projects to our colleagues in the Activat Invest Club for consideration.
