Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment decisions at Cats.VC?
The firm lists three principals on its website: Max Chebotarev, Yakov Kop, and Artiom Smagin. No further detail is provided on decision-making structure, investment committee process, or allocation of roles among the trio.
What investment stages does Cats.VC target?
Cats.VC states it invests across early-stage, seed, start-up, and growth phases. The firm does not distinguish minimum check sizes or reserve strategies for follow-on rounds in publicly available materials.
Does Cats.VC have any named portfolio companies?
No. The firm's website does not disclose a single portfolio company by name, nor does it reference co-investors, exits, or realized returns.
Is Cats.VC raising external capital, or deploying proprietary funds?
The firm has not disclosed its funding structure. No regulatory filings or press releases indicate a fundraise or the existence of limited partners, leaving unclear whether the capital is entirely proprietary or sourced externally.
Why does a Moscow-based firm focus exclusively on Latin America?
Cats.VC has not publicly explained the rationale for its exclusive LATAM mandate. The geographic mismatch between its headquarters and investment focus is a defining structural feature, but the firm offers no stated thesis for the decision.
