Yandex and Runa Capital plan joint investment in 10 information-technology startups, InCube, a business incubator affiliated with the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, said in a statement.
Yandex will provide financing for intensive preparation of the startups under InCube's accelerator program.
Sergei Belousov, board chairman of Parallels, and Alexander Galitsky formed Runa Capital in 2010 with $60 million in assets. It has provided financing to four projects and plans to invest in about 25 startups.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
