WHAT OUR PORTFOLIO COMPANIES SAY ABOUT US

Valery Mayushkin

СЕО UR-LI

The main advantage of Pulsar VC's program is the focus on international scaling. In the course of the program we did a lot of pitching in English. And also - powerful networking on the Russian market. We communicated with the largest companies, receiving inbound calls from company representatives, not the other way around.

Natalia Feldberg

CEO та Founder Beauty Tech

Participation in the Pulsar VC acceleration program helped us evaluate our chances of entering different markets, understand all the advantages and disadvantages of these markets, and clearly decide where to go. Thanks to the Pulsar VC program, we have contacts with Japanese investors who are interested in us. And our immediate goal is to enter the Japanese market.

Yury Orlov

СЕО TOUCH

Very hard work has been done and we have worked closely with mentors and invited speakers who have always made us think about how to make our product even better. The program experts helped us to "finish" the idea. The program was extremely helpful for us in terms of packaging for investors, refining the presentation, and understanding how to communicate with investors and how to go to rounds.
