The history of Runa Capital dates back to 2009. Dmitry Chikhachev, a successful lebanon phone number list entrepreneur, met his friend Sergey Belousov, the founder of Acronis. Chikhachev and Belousov immediately became enthusiastic about the new project, as they had known each other for many years – they graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology together.

The partners were confident at the start of the project that the venture fund would bring them success. At that time, Sergey Belousov already had ten years of experience in the software industry, and he also had the necessary business connections and expertise. In turn, Chikhachev knew how to launch new products, develop a business, work with a team and conduct transactions.
