October 13, 2010 at 13:11Alexey Komissarov - head of the business incubator ANH
With your permission, I am posting here a link to an almost biographical article of a person whom I have recognized quite well over the past year, and working with whom brings our team great pleasure.
Material published on Forbes.ru. Heading "Business Lessons". The author is Alexey Komissarov.
Reading the article, I thought that the case of Alexei is still a pleasant exception to the rule when business is built on friendship, not friendship on business.
My first attempts to create my own business, when the circle of your acquaintances are your friends and colleagues, ended with the loss of a serious part of my savings and the winding up of projects. And, thank God, that it was possible to maintain relations with friends that were not spoiled by money and mutual obligations.
A year ago at RIW I was fortunate enough to meet some wonderful guys. Together we created GreenfieldProject , a platform to support technology startups at an early stage. And in the winter of 2009 we met Alexei.
Since spring, Alexey has been developing the Business Incubator of the Academy of National Economy , of which he is a teacher and adviser to the rector. The site was launched in May 2010 and a screening event is planned on October 19, where future residents will be determined from among those projects that sent us their applications during the summer. Our team is involved as consultants and an external incubator operator.
I do not know whether to envy those who become its residents. If then, several years ago, people with experience stood behind my projects, and some of the bones would not exist (since you can use the resources of the incubator), we probably would have achieved more. On the other hand, their own cones are full, the value of which cannot be compared with any, even the most correct advice.
Alexey writes: “Finding successful partners is very difficult.” Oh yeah! Perhaps that is why, despite the high load on the main business, he chose the format of the incubator and allocates him a large amount of time and resources. It is not enough just to prepare the premises and computers for residents. An incubator is a whole infrastructure, which includes an educational program, relations with the investment community, constant communication with projects and the industry.
The next open event to be held under the auspices of the ANH Business Incubator is the Harvest startup tournament .
