Pre-seed to Succeed is an investment program that supports early-stage startups with an MVP and initial traction in industries like B2B/SaaS, fintech, AI, future of work, productivity tools, digital health, and HR tech.
Important to note, that Pre-seed to Succeed was established by a Ukrainian Alexander Korchevsky (I2BF Global Ventures), while its other three founders come from russia: Nikolay Kirpichnikov (Smart Partnership Capital), Sergei Bogdanov (Yellow Rocks), Igor Ryabenkiy (AltaIR Capital). All three of them have previously invested in russian startups and supported the russian ecosystem.
Although all of the founders are currently operating outside of the russian federation and there is little public data indicating their direct involvement with the russian government, these previous connections may still raise concerns within Eastern Europe and Ukraine and should be viewed with high caution.
In the near future, Global Work plans to expand its AI capabilities with new features, including a career guidance test to help candidates identify the best career path and interview preparation tools that offer personalized coaching.
