Key people at Pre-Seed To Succeed.
Pre-Seed To Succeed was founded in 2015 by Igor Ryabenkiy (Founder).
Pre-Seed To Succeed (P2S) operates as an investment program providing crucial initial funding and strategic support to early-stage startups. The firm offers a tailored curriculum designed to transform nascent ideas into scalable businesses, focusing on generating quality leads, tapping customer insights, and mastering fundraising. This comprehensive approach includes guidance on market sizing, financial modeling, and building a robust go-to-market strategy, distinguishing it from traditional accelerators by prioritizing direct investment coupled with hands-on development.
The program was founded in 2023 by a consortium of experienced venture capitalists: Alexander Korchevsky of I2BF Global Ventures, Nikolay Kirpichnikov of Smart Partnership Capital, Sergei Bogdanov from Yellow Rocks!, and Igor Ryabenkiy of AltaIR Capital. Their collective insight identified a critical gap in the ecosystem for nascent companies seeking not just capital, but also structured guidance to navigate the complexities of early-stage growth and successful subsequent fundraising rounds.
P2S targets early-stage companies with a working MVP, initial traction, and a focus on the US market, particularly in B2B/SaaS, FinTech, AI, and Digital Health sectors. The firm’s vision is to empower these promising startups to clarify their value proposition, optimize unit economics, and ultimately secure their next investment rounds. P2S commits to a 50% follow-on investment in successful portfolio companies, underscoring its long-term belief in their potential.
