Raison invests $5M in DVC AI Fund

Raison, an international investment company, has taken a new strategic step by committing $5 million to the DVC AI Fund — one of the largest venture capital funds in artificial intelligence, uniting more than 160 entrepreneurs, engineers, and angel investors from Silicon Valley.

DVC specializes in AI venture capital deals and already holds a portfolio of leading companies, spanning from infrastructure solutions to applied artificial intelligence products. Over the past two years, AI investments have shown exceptional growth: valuations of portfolio startups have multiplied amid the global artificial intelligence boom.

For Raison, the investment in DVC continues its strategy of providing clients with exclusive access to pre-IPO opportunities and high-growth technology companies usually closed to the broader investment community. According to co-founder Andrei Berezin, these investments not only enhance portfolio diversification but also allow investors to enter companies before their IPOs — opportunities traditionally reserved for large venture funds and institutional investors.

Alma Isimova, BDO Raison in Central Asia and the Middle East, highlighted the rising demand for AI investments in MENA and Central Asia:

Artificial intelligence has become a new gravitational center for global capital. Our mission is to give private and institutional investors from Central Asia and MENA access to opportunities that usually remain behind closed doors in Silicon Valley.

The deal with DVC strengthens Raison’s position as a global investment platform in artificial intelligence, opening access to world-class AI companies at the pre-IPO stage, and reaffirms the firm’s strategic focus on technology investments.
