What are the key words for an effective and sustainable corporate-startup relationship?
The important thing for a relationship to be sustainable and effective is sincerity. As a bank, we have to comply with a number of processes and regulations, but this does not prevent us from doing everything we can to move forward together with the startups that come to us. It is important for us to help them through the various stages of their project, by offering them visibility, marketing advice, support and of course funding.
