Customer preferences: In Greece, there has been a growing preference among businesses and individuals to raise capital through alternative means, such as crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending platforms. This shift can be attributed to several factors, including the ease of access to capital, lower costs, and the ability to reach a larger pool of potential investors. Additionally, the rise of digital platforms has made it easier for entrepreneurs and small businesses to connect with investors, bypassing traditional intermediaries.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Capital Raising market in Greece is the increasing use of equity crowdfunding. This allows businesses to raise funds by selling shares or equity stakes to a large number of investors, often through online platforms. Equity crowdfunding has gained popularity due to its potential for higher returns and the ability to tap into a wider network of investors. This trend is particularly evident in the startup ecosystem, where young companies are seeking innovative ways to secure funding for their ventures. Another trend in the market is the growing interest in sustainable and socially responsible investments. Investors are increasingly looking for opportunities that align with their values and contribute to positive social and environmental outcomes. This has led to the emergence of impact investing, where capital is deployed to generate measurable social and environmental impact alongside financial returns. In Greece, there is a growing awareness of sustainability issues, and investors are showing a greater interest in supporting businesses that prioritize environmental and social responsibility.

Furthermore, the Greek government has introduced various incentives and initiatives to support entrepreneurship and innovation, such as tax breaks and grants for startups. These factors have contributed to a more conducive environment for capital raising activities in the country.

Venture capital is the term used to call the financial resources provided by investors to startup firms and small businesses that show potential for long-term growth.
