Timo Kullerkupp shares financing advice with Spring Capital Investmen Funds on Äripäev radio

RASK partner and Head of Financing Timo Kullerkupp shared his expertise on financing on a special program in Äripäev Radio, the biggest radio station aimed at business professionals in Estonia. Together with Herni Treude, a partner at Spring Capital Investment Funds, different opportunities for raising and engaging capital in today’s context were discussed.

Things are more complex than usual in the investment scene, but the fundamentals: the need to invest and the need to get investments, remain the same, Timo and Henri agreed. Investment funds shall continue to carry out their mandates although more resources will be allocated to protecting the existing portfolio Henri confirmed.

Startup investments have always included a large degree of uncertainty and the additions made by the pandemic and its socio-economic impact do not change that. Investment strategies of funds with local footprint will not change dramatically, but the projects might be exposed to greater scrutiny and competition.

More focus may shift to strong medium sized enterprises that can show a track record of success and potential of resilience.
