Moscow Times 31 October 2012
A Russian venture-capital fund and an American investor have agreed to invest $2 million in VitaPortal, an online medical startup aiming to improve Russians’ access to information on doctors, medicine and healthy living.
The investment will come from Moscow-based Prostor Capital and U.S. businesswoman Esther Dyson, according to a statement issued late Tuesday by Fast Lane Ventures, the startup incubator that helped launch VitaPortal.
Neither party would clarify how much they will contribute individually, but a Fast Lane Ventures representative said each would take a minority stake in the company.
