Our investment process

  1. Sourcing. We pre-screen around 70+ investment ideas monthly from Europe;
  2. Qualification and workshops. We select 2–4 investment opportunities monthly and deep dive into their business.
  3. Due diligence. We perform enhanced due diligence on 1–3 selected. Five people from FFF members are involved in creating the documentation package. You can find our due diligence principles here and investment memos. We allocate up to 30 hours for each qualified opportunity before we showcase to Fund Fellow Founders members.
  4. Investment committee. We invite founders for a Q/A session and members challenge them.
  5. Make a decision. If you ready to co-invest with Akim, let us know by indicating the interest via our platform or email.
  6. Let’s do it. We use platforms such as Vauban or Funderbeam for syndication. We also could initiate the SPV with equity. SPV with equity is the safest way to make the investment. All investors will be the shareholders of the SPV, and Akim Arhipov will manage the SPV. All investors pay their investment into the SPV as a share capital contribution, which the SPV will invest into the target company. It’s not mandatory - it’s totally OK if founders allow you to participate as a stand alone party on a cap table. We are proud to work with Valter Võhma from Triniti Law Firm.
