Softline Venture Partners

About us

In 2008, Igor Borovikov, the founder of Softline Group, one of the world’s leading IT vendors, created a corporate venture fund Softline Venture Partners that seeks to support startup projects and help develop the global tech industry.

 

We see the fast growing regions of South-East Asia, MENA, and LATAM as our top priority. We are interested both in the projects that have already started business in these countries and those that are just considering these markets for international expansion.

 

As a CVC fund, Softline Venture Partners has a special interest in Pre-Seed and Seed rounds.

Founder

Igor founded Softline with a team of only 10 people. Under his leadership, Softline became a global IT company with 6,000 employees worldwide. In October 2021, the company conducted an IPO of its securities on the London Stock Exchange. In 2015, he was invited into the Digital Economy Development Working Group in APAC operating under the aegis of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) — one of the five regional commissions of the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
