Is it possible to find an investor abroad for a Russian startup aimed at the local market?

Question

Startups

If the main target audience of a startup is in Russia, is it worth looking for investors abroad and placing an application on foreign crowdfunding sites? What Russian platforms can compete with foreign ones?

Answer 1

The investor is interested in the payback of the project. Even on the moon.
There may be prejudice against investing in a Russian company, but the audience of the site will definitely not matter. Even vice versa. The Russian-speaking Internet is larger than, for example, the French-speaking one.
There will be fears of a scammer (among investors). For there are many options for a Russian company. Black bookkeeping, etc. I am in no way hinting at you. For example, I run a mega clean business. But you understand that they will judge not by us, but by the general business climate.

Answer 2

You have
- profit in dollars
- payback up to a year - the
amount of profit with five zeros and is growing

Answer 3

crowdfunding platforms

Yes. There are successful examples of ours sending orders abroad.
There were articles on Habré.
You are confusing classical investing with crowdfunding.

In what?
Russia is 2-3% of the world population.
