TMT Investments, Interview with Executive Director Alexander Selegenev
Summary
Effectively, this means that to invest successfully in our target space, we must be as good at people reading and recognizing those outstanding founders as we are at analyzing products, markets, and tech trends.In addition, our team is comprised of serial entrepreneurs who have collectively launched dozens of Internet, media and software startups, building them up from scratch into successful multi-million businesses.For example, at our initial meeting with the CEO of ScentBird, she communicated such a deep knowledge about their growth and their plan for scaling – and with such clarity – that we were really able to make our decision to invest within just a few minutes.Alex: We currently see a lot of potential in the following areas: SaaS tools for businesses, cloud solutions, mobile software applications, social-discovery shopping, and advertising technologies.We’re also convinced there will always be demand for new solutions that help businesses increase productivity, and our successful investments in SaaS-based Wrike and Pipedrive keep us on the lookout for new developments in those areas, especially when it comes to SMEs.
