Panel discussion: Are succession stories still the main source for deals for PE/VC in the region, or is there a new generation of entrepreneurs who have taken over as a market for PE/VC investors?

  • Succession stories have been a valuable source of deals for PE/VC in the region
  • However, since 2010 we have seen the rise of a younger new generation of entrepreneurs (shaped by the 2008 financial crisis) who have successfully built profitable businesses ripe for PE/VC investment
  • Are succession-based investment opportunities still the primary source for PE/VC deals, or has this new class of founder entrepreneur taken over?

Conversation participants:

11:55 - 12:25

Panel discussion: What is the place for impact investment focused funds in CEE, and what exactly does impact investment mean?

  • Impact Investment is a large market for PE/VC in Europe generally, although there are precious few CEE focused players in this market.  Why is this and how can we expect this to change in the future?
  • Does this trend and relative vacuum of regional impact investment funds represent a blue ocean of opportunities for fund raising?
  • Is the divestment trend of large institutionals in fossil fuels creating an opportunity for VC/PE funds to focus on impact investments?
  • Does impact investment mean a lesser focus on returning profit?  Or can a fund focus on high returns while focusing on impact investments?
