Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Gagarin Capital?

Investment decisions are driven by co-founders Nicholas Davidov and Mikhail Taver, who jointly source, diligence, and manage portfolio positions. The firm operates with a partnership structure and has not publicly named additional investment committee members or outside limited-partner advisory boards.

Which sectors does Gagarin Capital explicitly avoid?

The firm has not publicly stated explicit sector exclusions. Historically, Gagarin has concentrated on software-enabled categories—applied AI, enterprise SaaS, robotics, and automation—and has not been active in capital-intensive sectors such as biotech, hard pharma, or traditional energy infrastructure.

How does Gagarin Capital support its portfolio companies beyond capital?

Gagarin is structurally unusual in that it provides substantial operational support around US market entry. For portfolio companies originating in Eastern Europe, the firm assists with Delaware incorporation, executive recruitment for go-to-market hires, and introductions to first enterprise customers. This relocation-and-sales-acceleration function is core to its value proposition and distinguishes it from conventional early-stage funds.
