Voskhod opened the order book on the Atomize platform to issue the first venture DFAs in early June. The idea was to offer investors a tool to invest in venture capital companies together with a professional lead investor – a fund, explained the fund’s managing partner Ruslan Sarkisov at the time.
According to the press service of Voskhod, the volume of funds raised amounted to 83.5 million rubles. The received DFAs are tied to the value of 4% of the authorized capital of the Qummy startup. The placement was carried out in cooperation with Rosbank. The minimum threshold for participation in the issue was 500 thousand rubles. Qualified individual investors, as well as one institutional investor, participated in the placement.
Qummy was founded in 2019. The startup prepares preservative-free food in factory kitchens and then freezes it using the company’s own “smart ice” technology. The end consumer needs to heat the food in a special robotic oven.
The company had previously raised 93 million rubles in funding from Voskhod, the Moscow Seed Fund and two business angels.
The total amount raised in the round, including the issue of digital financial assets, exceeded 170 million rubles.
