💰 Are you looking to #finance the growth of your startup or boost the innovations in your corporation?

Raising funds is tempting.

Different solutions exist, from public funds, friends and family, private #investors, or exotic terms like mezzanine financing, just to name a few.

The best solution for you depends on your company's situation, obviously.

In this episode, Jerzy Krypel, Attorney-at-law at BSJP | bnt, discussed with Billy Yen, member of La French Tech Krakow, about the elements to consider before raising financing for your company.

Raising debts and raising #equity, the most common ones, both implies some risks that you need to evaluate. Also, you also need to remember that some company structures are unsuitable to get investors.

We will answer to questions like:

👉 What are the main differences between borrowing money from a bank and raising money from a private investor?

👉 what happens if your company fails, and you cannot reimburse the money?

👉 What solution is the most risky?

👉 Which one is more expensive?

👉 What is there to be vigilant in the investment contract?

Jerzy explains that "if you don't think about these situations when you raise money, it might be too late at the end of the day."

🍀 What is the potential of Ireland for business?

For more than 2 decades, #Ireland created a favorable market for foreign large corporations, hence it became a land of #opportunities for those who wanted to gain valuable experience abroad.

During those years, the Emerald Isle moved from being a European outsourcing center to developing technology with R&D labs. Not to forget that successful startups like Stripe started in Ireland.

John Murat tells us that the role of La French Tech Dublin is to animate the #French community locally, but also to accompany startups and scale ups willing to learn from the American tech giants established there.

The French entrepreneur tells us how France became Ireland's biggest EU business partner after Brexit, and that Dublin is still a formidable pool of skilled #talents.

John Murat, co-President of La French Tech Dublin, was interviewed by Billy Yen, community member of La French Tech Krakow.
