  • Why is international fundraising still not picking up and local never took off?
  • Is the current global political situation affecting this status quo? If so, is it in favour or against CEE market?
  • What conditions need to be satisfied to attract capital into PE structures?
  • Does the traditional PE model work in the CEE context? Does it serve a purpose?
  • As there’s a new wave of emerging teams trying to fundraise in CEE, would LPs consider supporting them? Under which conditions?
