Conversations of Trust. The Sustainable Search for Growth Capital

As a founder in the telecom industry , I have experienced firsthand a very dynamic journey of entrepreneurship for 20 years.

From the initial vision, which started like a rocket and very fast forward, this excitement mixed with the adrenaline of fear, yet the cruise control readiness to take risk — this journey has shaped my understanding of the challenges and mindset of founders.

In facilitating US growth capital, it is this unique perspective which allows me to deeply understand those enterprise owners I work with, building trust and rapport in ways that pure financial advisors may miss.

Building Trust with Founders: The Power of Shared Experiences and Emotional Intelligence

Trust is the cornerstone of any successful relationship, especially when working with founders. They need to feel understood and confident that their advisor appreciates the human aspects beyond just the business opportunity.

My aim is to help in some way in each call.

We don't take 30 min calls, they lead to very little. The fact that our paths have crossed can be inspiring in ways beyond a "deal at hand." I like to hear the story, the aim beyond Zoom.

I can relate to the enthusiasm, the crossroads, and the solution-seeking moments that may feel overwhelming.

The result is trust

By leveraging emotional intelligence, active listening, and sharing, I create a connection beyond numbers. Everyone has a calculator, yet the diamonds in the dust hide beyond the tapping sounds of multiplication keys.

Uncovering New Avenues for Growth Through Strategic Insights

My lived experience as a founder gives me insights into areas that traditional financial analysis may overlook.

By tapping into the founder's vision, motivations, and readiness to pivot or adapt their business model, I can uncover new avenues for growth to reveal opportunities that are not immediately apparent, providing a significant advantage in identifying high-potential businesses.

Combining these strategic insights with data-driven analysis and market trends allows for a comprehensive approach to growth planning.

Aligning with Client-Centric Approaches and Global Expertise

Whether you're an SME or an investment banker, the focus on providing sophisticated, tailored solutions and building long-term relationships with clients based on trust and expertise is crucial.

By leveraging cross-border capabilities and sector-specific knowledge, we can offer founders access to a vast network of potential investors, partners, and strategic advisors.

A Call for Collaboration to Support Emerging Tech SMEs

At Infinity IPO, we have recently pre-vetted and qualified several cutting-edge EU-based SMEs in emerging tech, some seeking growth capital of €2M to €8M, and others with investment needs of €20M + and €50M in green tech and €50M.

Our pre-vetting process ensures that we identify high-potential opportunities that can benefit from extensive networks and investment acumen from investment bankers, family offices and venture funds.

My personal focus is on dynamic EU founders in emerging tech who seek growth or exit.

The realization to grow and to exit have many things in common, as in each case you are giving away part of the "you" that created and led the ball to roll.

Many founders are too busy to realize that they are ready to go to the next level or exit.

If your company is seeking capital and ready to grow, or if you are ready to exit, let's connect!
