Bamboo Group

What they do

Founded in 2002 by Vladislav Herchykau, Bamboo Group originally started as a value-added services (VAS) provider for the telecommunications industry. Over the past two decades, it has evolved into a global group of IT assets and a venture builder. The firm is distinctive for its hybrid model: it uses the profits generated from its core IT and software development services to finance and nurture new high-tech projects. Bamboo Group is highly regarded for its hands-on operational support and its ability to help startups penetrate emerging markets, particularly in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) and Africa, leveraging long-standing partnerships with major global brands like Jaguar Land Rover, Škoda, and Orange.

What they look for

Bamboo Group focuses on "shared success" and long-term partnerships, aiming to build and scale companies that bring a "common good" to the world. Their thesis revolves around acting as an expert co-founder or joint-venture partner, combining their deep in-house software development capabilities with external entrepreneurial talent and ideas.
