Ten reasons you will want to work with us: One We love building and being a part of an entrepreneurial ecosystem where everybody plays their role. We want to make the Croatian entrepreneurial ecosystem the best in class so expect to see a lot of us because this is what we want to achieve! Two Our reputation is our wealth. Three We always stand behind our founders, in good and bad times, we mean it, you will see! Four We hate getting the “long yes” so we never give …the “long yes”. Five We love bold founders and we provide “Capital for the Bold”. Get it? Six We at FRC have “been there, done that”. Our combined M&A and financing track records exceed $4B. We didn’t always get it right, but we’re not ashamed of it. Seven We can give continuous support to our startups from incubation and acceleration to scale-up and exit. Eight “We bring you more than money”: every VC claims it but very few actually live by it – we do. We were voted “Best Investor” in our region 2 years in a row and there is a reason for that. Nine We’re fine with opinions but we’d rather focus on facts. Ten We are no nonsense guys. We will tell you things as they are, we never intend to demean or hurt. We might seem offensive every now and then, remember, we NEVER mean bad but we’d rather be straight.
