Eduard’s first business was SaaS solution for SMS notifications of clients (Latvia, 2006). This company was able to become the market leader not only in Latvia, but also occupied a part of the market in other European countries.

The next successful project of Eduard was the financial aggregator Gudriem.lv. It is an analogue of MoneySuperMarket, which allows users to compare prices for goods and services. The most triumphant of the Gudriem services managed to transform into a new international aggregator MoneyGuru24, which worked in more than 40 countries.

In 2013, one of Eduard’s successful investments was Discover Car Hire, known as DiscoverCars.com. Nowadays, this company is one of the world leaders in its segment.

Founder of the 3ED Ventures fund is Eduards Zolotukhins, IT entrepreneur and investoR

Among the successes, there were also failures, as in the case with any entrepreneur: for example, a mobile application for finding tennis opponents. Without raising a new round, the partners returned the investment to the angel, and this case served as the basis for the Smart Money ideology, on which the Fund’s work is now based.

Since 2019, Eduard has been actively involved in investments and has participated in business angel communities such as United Investors, Changer. club, T16e.com, investoro.com, angelinvests.ru, Vntr. vc, etc.

In 2020, Eduard created a venture syndicate, which invested in the N + 1 startup in the summer of 2021. This was the beginning of 3ED Ventures, a new generation fund based on a community of business angels, founders, and advisors.
