Ruvento Вячеслава Солоницына инвестировала в пять стартапов в течение года Автор / Светлана Алексеева Светлана Алексеева – автор Firrma. Инвестиционная компания Ruvento Вячеслава Солоницына вложилась в пять стартапов в течение этого года: PreNav, Boom Technology, Eight, Shoka и MegaBots. Ruvento вложила $100 тысяч в «умный» велозвонок Shoka Bell январе 2016 года. Велозвонок состоит из двух частей: внутренний металлический стержень, устанавливающийся на велосипед и внешний корпус, состоящий из навигационных датчиков, светодиодов LED и звуковых динамиков. Велозвонок Shoka Bell также оснащен навигацией, помогающей выстраивать более безопасные и удобные маршруты для велосипедистов. Световые датчики освещают дорогу, помогая различить в темноте велосипедиста на дороге. В «умный» матрас Eight компания инвестировала в марте 2016 года. Объём раунда составил $6 млн. В сделке также участвовали Comcast Ventures, Azure Capital Partners, Cota Capital и другие инвесторы. Матрас учитывает сразу несколько факторов — температуру воздуха, фазы сна, движения спящего. С учетом этих параметров Eight сам регулирует температуру собственной поверхности. Матрасом можно управлять и самостоятельно через приложение для смартфона. В разработчика сверхзвукового авиалайнера Boom Technology компания вложилась в апреле 2016 года. Объём раунда составил $2,12 млн. В робототехнический стартап MegaBots компания Ruvento инвестировала в мае 2016 года. Объём раунда составил $2,4 млн. В разработчика системы управления дронами PreNav компания Ruvento вложилась в августе 2016 года. Объём раунда составил $6,5 млн. Всего компания привлекла $9,7 млн. Калифорнийская компания PreNav разработала автоматизированную систему позиционирования для дронов, которая позволяет оператору управлять местоположением дрона в любой конкретный момент времени с высокой точностью.
