ABOUT

ABOUT THE REGATTA

Hello, friends!

Business is built on trust. Venture business even more so. We believe that the path to building trust lies in communities and informal relationships.

Many in the venture community are passionate about sailing in its various forms, including yachting. What unites us is our enthusiasm for what we do—venture business and everything surrounding it.

The main goal of Venture Regatta is to bring together good people and introduce them to the world of yachting. Join us, and together we'll have a fantastic week!

STORIES

ONBOARD IMPRESSIONS

An amazing journey, great company, a truly friendly atmosphere, and so many interesting people — the kind you enjoy climbing to a waterfall with, sharing business experience, setting sails, or having a glass of sparkling wine.
There’s never a dull moment on this trip: one day you’re catching a crocodile, the next you’re figuring out where the oil goes in the boat’s transmission — or why the navigation system suddenly decided you’ve traveled from Thailand to Norway.

Roman Beloded

Each regatta is not only about visiting unique and stunningly beautiful places or exploring new cultures — most importantly, it's where new friendships are born, connections are strengthened, and new ideas — even new businesses — are brought to life. Venture Regatta gave me the opportunity to see new places through different eyes — the eyes of a sailor — and the close-knit atmosphere of life aboard a yacht allows you to truly get to know both old and new friends on a deeper level.
And of course, a regatta is also about delicious food, adventures, sea entertainment, parties, inspiring speakers, and unforgettable sunrises and sunsets on the water.

Lea Bertele

Venture Regatta, for me, is a bright flash in my life that I look forward to every year.
First and foremost, the regatta is about networking. It’s a unique format that brings together entrepreneurs and investors, creating space for meaningful connection and growth. It gathers such a diverse and fascinating group of people — the kind you rarely encounter in everyday life. And it’s not just about talking — it’s about living a “small life” together: sharing a cabin, cooking meals, exploring beautiful places, or facing challenges side by side. That’s incredibly powerful.
Second — it’s a high concentration of impressions and emotions. As we get older, time flies faster and faster, and much of it is spent in grey routine. But what stays in memory are those moments of strong emotion — and the regatta is full of them.
Third — it’s a chance to gain new knowledge. The regatta includes a Public Talk format, where we can freely discuss complex and thought-provoking topics — from business growth and personal development to deep dives into areas like IT.
Thank you to Sergey Bogdanov and the entire Venture Regatta team for creating such an amazing experience!

Alexey Roslyakov

Friends, a huge thank you to all of you for making this trip so incredible! It was truly a pleasure — comfortable and inspiring — to share this experience with you.
A special thanks to the organizers — everything was top-notch, with a rich program and a great format! When else can you combine quality rest with such a wealth of new knowledge on such a wide range of topics?
Until we meet again!

Dmitry Filippov

I had no expectations — it was my first time.
From the very first evening, I realized I had found myself in wonderful company — vibrant, passionate, intelligent, and soulful people. The atmosphere was full of joy, lightness, and trust. Every person on our boat turned out to be an unforgettable discovery.
We shared, discussed, laughed, played, swam, sang, and danced. Each day was filled with vivid impressions and stunning views along the route. The romance of the wind and sea captured our hearts.
There are so many memories that it’s impossible to pick just one — the entire regatta was amazing! Especially the people!
