Successful EdTech startup ABA English: Pioneers in teaching through video
ABA English was leading the way in digital English learning long before the 2020 shift to online learning. Founded back in the 80s, they’ve always been focused on video lessons, and their offering has evolved along with the technology, keeping them at the cutting edge of language learning.
The ABA English app combines technology, a unique video-based methodology and human interactions with certified teachers and tutors to improve students’ English. The product has won the Best Educational App at the Reimagine Education Awards twice in the last five years

How a venture fund works
Venture investments are long-term - they usually invest for 7-10 years. Sometimes for longer, when the stage of development of an innovative project is delayed. The amount of investment depends on the stage of the company's life cycle. At an early stage, it can be from $10,000 to $1 million.
In the later stages, stakes increase to $1–3 million, as only those startups that have managed to prove their relevance and viability in the market survive to this stage. Although recently, against the backdrop of a general increase in investment in innovation, even at an early stage, the maximum checks have increased to $ 5–10 million.
One example is Gorillas, a startup with a 10-minute delivery concept that was raising $3-5 million early on.
The portfolio of projects depends on the specifics of the fund: these can be companies at a certain stage or from a specific field of activity. For example, we invest in fast growing technology companies from Western Europe in four industries - EdTech. We go early.
