Nick Davydov DVC Fund online meeting

Nick Davydov DVC Fund, Silicon Valley AI Venture
Raison and Seven Rivers Capital invites you to an exclusive online meeting with Nick Davydov, co-founder and managing partner of the DVC fund.

Nick is an entrepreneur, investor, and the author of a popular Russian-language blog about artificial intelligence.

Together with his wife Marina—also a DVC co-founder—Nick has built a community of over 200 investors around the fund, including business angels and engineers from OpenAI, Google, and Meta. This network enables DVC to gain entry into funding rounds that are otherwise closed to external investors.

Today, DVC’s portfolio comprises over 240 companies, including seven unicorns.

DVC AI Fund I invests in AI startups at the Series A and B stages, securing access to rounds that are often closed to new investors.

The fund’s notable deals include Perplexity AI and Higgsfield AI.

During the call, we will discuss:
• Initial results of DVC AI Fund I.
• The startup selection process.
• How the fund gains access to exclusive funding rounds.
• Profitable AI niches and the fund’s strategic bets.
• Participation terms for Raison clients.

Moderator: Andrey Berezin, co-founder of Raison.

Format: 60 minutes, live Q&A.

When: September 30, 20:00 (Almaty/Astana time).
