Alex Chachava is the managing partner and founder of LETA Capital, a technology-focused venture firm he established in 2012 after building successful IT businesses including ESET’s Eastern European division and the Leta Group holding. His investment thesis targets early-stage B2B and B2C software startups, primarily led by Russian-speaking founders, with a geographic focus expanding from Russia to the U.K., Europe, and the U.S. for growth-stage deals. Typical check sizes range from $400,000 to $5.0 million, with a sweet spot around $2.7 million, and LETA Capital often acts as a lead investor. Notable portfolio companies include inDriver, NovaKid (also spelled Novakid), Unomy, and 365Scores, with the firm investing in over 30 technology companies since inception. Chachava distinguishes his approach by emphasizing data-driven, entrepreneur-friendly venture capital, as articulated in the firm’s public “LETA Capital Manifesto”. He has publicly argued that Russian-speaking startups are systematically undervalued globally but offer significant return potential, a view he highlighted in a 2018 vc.ru interview.
