Hi all,

I'm an INSEAD MBA student looking to launch a search fund with a focus on my home country of Croatia. I know getting local investors helps get the ball rolling, so wanted to ask this community if anyone tried fundraising in Croatia or any of the former Yugoslavian countries?

Thanks a lot!
Igor

Hi Igor. We are launching a search fund in Chile, a country which I believe shares a common characteristic with Croatia: The model is quite new and unknown among local investors. During our research, we defined and agree with you that having locals on board is definitely important as they expand you network among other advantages. If you see we can contribute to you by sharing our experience, some of the best practices and technics we use, I will be happy to have a chat. I leave you my email redacted Best of luck!

what’s the SME market like in Croatia? Is there an ease of selling and buying businesses of this size? Is there a good legal process to execute sales of businesses post an in depth due diligence process? Availability of publicly available records?
