Primarily focusing on late-stage growth within the consumer internet[1] sector, DST Global is an investment firm established by Yuri Milner in 2009. It operates as the main investment conduit following the IPO of Mail.ru Group, which was originally set up as Digital Sky Technologies. With a portfolio of over 80 companies, DST Global’s investments are primarily international, guided by business logic rather than geopolitical motivations. The firm stands out for its distinctive investment approach, which involves not pursuing board seats in substantial deals, thereby enabling company founders. DST Global operates from several worldwide locations, including Menlo Park, New York, London, Beijing, and Hong Kong, while its funds’ registered office is in the Cayman Islands. It has been instrumental in molding the global tech sphere, all the while maintaining a firm position on geopolitical matters such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
