2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
2013 was an especially important year for Web Ready; after all, it’s our first jubilee! The fifth competition was held with the support of the Ministry of Communications and Media of the Russian Federation and the Skolkovo Foundation, and surpassed all the previous ones in terms of number of participants, countries and cities represented, partners, venture funds and experts.
For the first time, Web Ready prizes were awarded simultaneously in 9 categories. The primary categories, Seed, Startup, and Growth were based on how mature the projects were, from beta versions to success stories. Additional categories were established by Web Ready’s partners. In addition to the competitive program, the final included 5 simultaneously operating networking venues.
However, the main value of Web Ready is the people that it brings together. That’s why we, first and foremost,
want to thank the members of the jury, experts, investors, mentors, partners, and, of course, the startups, for their active participation, interest and support. It is your work that makes Web Ready the number 1 competition for Internet&Mobile projects. More than 30 success stories from finalists and winners from previous years are all the proof you need: Web Ready works!
We hope that 2014 will be a year of new discoveries and new records. We look forward to seeing you at the next Web Ready finals!
Sincerely,
Irina Kalashnikova, President of the Web Ready Non-profit Innovation Support Fund

WEB READY’13:V INTERNATIONAL CONTEST AND INVESTMENT FORUM FOR INTERNET & MOBILE PROJECTS
NEW IN 2013
Bilingual contestFor the first time ever, Web Ready applications have been accepted in both the Russian and English languages, making it possible to double the number of foreign projects to 90.
St. Petersburg – Moscow This year, Web Ready is being held in conjunction with the Skolkovo Fund, which is why the educational program was held in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the finale — in Moscow, at the Skolkovo Hypercube.
Growth nomination Projects at the stage of active growth were diverted to a special nomination.
Advisory BoardWe’ve launched our own system for the acceptance, processing and evaluation of contest applications, which is already available at: www.advisoryboard.ru.
Six special nominations Prizes for IT startups featuring a strong technological component were presented by the Intel and ЕМС corporations. Playa, the Finnish cluster of gaming companies, awarded the best gaming project in the Game Ready nomination, and MegaLabs determined the best mobile solution, while Google selected the best app designer and the venture fund Life.SREDA — the most promising financial project.
Talent TrackThere’s a new finale platform, supported by the career resource ITmozg — 15 brief but engaging stories from the life of prominent IT companies and successful startups. Thus, today’s Web Ready isn’t just about startups, investors, experts and mentors — it’s also about building a talented workforce.
Panel discussion This year, the most pressing issues of startup development were explored by nine participants at once: by project investors and founders alike. Finale guests had the chance to get a firsthand look at the venture-capital market from various different perspectives!

THE BEST PROJECTAT THE SEED STAGE I
P L A C E
«Web Ready has special significance for our team. In 2012, it was the first national contest that we brought our two month project, Konferenza to in the hopes of finding that magic investor. It almost became the last; they ripped our idea to shreds, we didn’t find any investors and went back to Novosibirsk empty-handed. Then there was a year of hard word, a hard financial winter, when our friends and acquaintances doing what they could to support pivot, Appercode’s new product, which was created based on our previous development experience. It was very important for us to come back here. Thank you Web Ready, for dispelling our illusion of an investor swooping out of the sky and making us get to work».
