Last week Sberbank, Russia’s national savings bank; the Internet Initiatives Development Fund IIDF, or FRII), Russia’s largest early-stage startup investment fund; and FortRoss Ventures (formerly known as Money Time) announced the launch of a platform called Global Pitch to help Russian tech entrepreneurs develop in the U.S.
Global Pitch expects to introduce dozens of Russian startups to the U.S. investor and corporate communities, thereby helping them to acquire international experience.
