According to Capital Lab partner Evgeny Shatova, in 2025 it is planned in the region of 15-20 transactions. “With an average placement of approximately 700 million rubles, the expected amount of funds raised will be in the range of 10.5-14 billion rubles,” he said.
The newspaper reported that up to ten transactions, “but it will depend on market conditions.” There are many more transactions on Payddaine, but the discussion with issuers and investment banks has varying degrees of intensity, the site’s press service explained.
The head of the Rounds investment platform, Anton Urukhin expects that 2025 will create an incentive for the growth of the pre-IPO market in the following years by 3-5 times.
According to the partner of the KraudinVesting Brainbox.vc platform Sergey Egorov, last year the largest transactions were:
- “Airman+” for 800 million rubles (Gazprombank – Zorko platform);
- Final education for 560 million rubles (Alfa-Investment);
- “Robopr” for 500 million rubles (criminal code “alfa-capital”);
- “Motorika” (Orbit Capital Capital “);
- Qummy for 400 million rubles (Voskhod Foundation, Moscow Wendular Fund);
- Neiry for 350 million rubles (Sunrise Foundation);
- “Take a charge” for 530 million rubles (rounds platform).
According to Urukhin, in total, more than 901 million rubles were attracted through the rounds platform in 2024, and the average contribution of one investor amounted to 2.93 million rubles. On the Moscow exchange in 2024 there was a deal for 23.47 million rubles, and it has not yet been completed.
Experts believe that market growth can contribute to overcrowding platforms, a decrease in the central bank’s key rate, improving the macroeconomic situation and the development of instrument liquidity. Infrastructure can interfere with growth, since it has not yet been finally formed. In addition, the secondary market has not yet developed, making it difficult to sell shares after transactions.
On January 22, the business news agency with reference to BITL finance experts reported that in 2025, 10-12 Russian companies can spend pre-OPO, and the average amount of money raised can be 200 million rubles . The main reason for the growth of the number of pre-OPOs is the key rate of the Bank of Russia. Analysts explained that for growing companies, preliminary primary placement is almost the only way to attract money to develop and prepare for IPO.
