#Themes
Patricia Tarczali | Future Proof Consulting & Denes Nagy | I4P Informatics
Patricia Tarczali, co-founder of Future Proof Consulting and Denes Nagy, CFO of I4P Informatics, discuss their joint study focusing on the impact of human factors on investment processes. This is an interesting topic to explore because it can have a strong impact on both sides and can even lead to surprising results if based on inappropriate decision strategies and measurable – yes, human factor is measurable – data.
- Patricia says that with the 22 asked venture capitalists, a representative value was reached.
- We learn that after investment, two thirds of startups fail due to some kind of human factor.
- We also learn that all participants understand and agree on the importance of the human factor, but that there is still no mature solution to assess and develope founders/leaders.
- Patricia tells us that investments are made based on experience and intuition.
- The research organised by Denes aims to formulate valuable messages and conclusions that capture the interest of key players in the ecosystem in a professionally sound way.
The issues addressed by the research:
- In which areas and how can institutional investors provide support?
- What are the potential risks for a company when working with an investor?
- What are the most important factors that influence the added value of investors and the quality of co-operation with portfolio companies?
- The results of the studies are expected to be available by the end of Q2 2022.
- Listen to Patricia and Denes in conversation with Nora Szeles, Head of Business Development at Tokeportal.
Do you already know the Fehér Nyúl story?
Speaking of influencing factors, what do you think makes a beer good and why is it worth becoming an investor in the craft beer community?
The Fehér Nyúl Brewery & Taproom campaign is about to launch on the Tokeportal website, so founders Peter Meiszner, Almos Sajgo, Andras Csepregi and co-owner Janos Szuda presented the story of the brewery and the campaign.
- They tell how a hobby became a company worth HUF 1.2 billion (~ EUR 3.003.079)
- We learn that good beer is not just about quality ingredients and expertise, but also about creativity and a cohesive team.
- We get insights into the domestic and international small-scale beer market.
What did the campaigners say?
Zoltan Toma, owner and CEO of Syrius, talks about what’s new for the welding company and its crowdfunding campaign.
- He explains what progress has been made since the investor meeting.
- He reports on developments in the field of machine manufacturing.
- He talks about the very large orders that the company has received, which is a testament to the company’s professional and business success.
- He invites everyone to the next investor meeting, which will be held in person at the company’s premises.
Sara Korchmaros, RECASH‘s Commercial Director, is presenting some super news
- RECASH’s campaign has exceeded 100%, so their campaign can be considered a success. But they are not stopping there, as they are aiming to reach the investment of 120 million HUF.
- Sára also briefly answers questions about the IT system:
- The system was built from the ground up to already serve hundreds of thousands of users without any problems, but it can be expanded further.
- The whole system has been audited and approved by the MNB.
- Sára also reports that they are moving forward with their data business and are in negotiations.

My 10 years of experience in private and public equity fund management have allowed me to gain a complete overview of equity financing. I have had the opportunity to learn about the different phases of the fund’s operation, from the start-up of the fund manager to the closing of the fund. During this time, I was able to actively follow the life of portfolio companies at different stages of maturity, from investment preparation to successful exit. I currently support the management of growth stage companies in the financial area.
