In 2010 the ACA dedicated an award in his memory and this year in Austin at the Annual Summit Tony Shipley of the Queen City Angels in Cincinnati, Ohio teamed with TCA’s Richard Sudek to present the award to AssureRx’s Don Wright.

Konstantin Fokin, Russian Business Angels

By Frank | Filed in Angel Investing, Annual Summit, EBAN, Interview/podcast

Konstantin Fokin

We met in Warsaw last year when John May introduced us. At the time it seemed like a long way off, but now it’s right around the corner: Konstantin and his Russian Business Angels Association will host the 12th EBAN Congress in Moscow, April 23-25.

Then we met again last week in Austin at the ACA Annual Summit where Konstantin closely observed the content for topics to bring back to Russia.

You’ll learn that after he went to business school and never having worked for anyone besides himself, he goes to work for the government, eventually creating over 100 incubators across the country.

How is entrepreneurship in Russia and how does it differ from the times, not long ago, of the Soviet Union? Konstantin describes how risk-taking is being rewarded again today; listen as he shares his perspectives.

Join me at the EBAN Congress in Moscow, April 23-25.
