Sources of Financing in the Current Fundraising Environment

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is
joined by Jean-Laurent Pelissier, Managing Director; Head of
Enterprise Software EMEA at HSBC Innovation Banking, who shares the
different sources of financing in the current fundraising
environment. "But the whole team basically stayed together. I think
if we look at the SVB UK company that was acquired by HSBC, we've
had very little employee churn overall, which is fantastic. And I
do think that's a testament to the leadership, the ability to
retain the employees and also the customer base. I think HSBC was
able to bring stability to our customers in a very short order,
which was fantastic. And that was kind of the number one priority
there." Jean-Laurent shares: The transition after HSBC's
acquisition of SVB UK If highly efficient growth is going to be the
new normal At what stage valuations are much more resilient (and
why) In which circumstances he recommends venture debt to venture
capital Combining recurring revenue lines and venture debt
facilities to cover different use cases Why he's cautiously
optimistic for 2024 and more. --- Check out the other ways SaaStock
