I sat down with “Who is Raising” to discuss the dynamic world of Eastern European deep tech, fundraising, cultural and valuation differences, key advice for emerging managers, and much more. The interview covers the following topics:

• How and why Sunfish got started.

• What the early days on the ground in Poland were like.

• What our first big hit was in Poland.

• How massively different investing in Eastern and Western Europe is.

• Which cultural differences matter and which don’t.

• Whether our thinking on fund structures and timelines has changed.

• What valuations and levels of competition we are seeing.

• How fundraising has changed from the first to the second fund.

• Which LP patterns we have observed.

• Why small funds outperform but are the hardest to raise.

• What advice we’d give to fellow emerging managers.
