In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is joined by Jean-Laurent Pelissier, Managing Director; Head of Enterprise Software EMEA at HSBC Innovation Banking, who shares the different sources of financing in the current fundraising environment.

 

“But the whole team basically stayed together. I think if we look at the SVB UK company that was acquired by HSBC, we’ve had very little employee churn overall, which is fantastic. And I do think that’s a testament to the leadership, the ability to retain the employees and also the customer base. I think HSBC was able to bring stability to our customers in a very short order, which was fantastic. And that was kind of the number one priority there.”

 

Jean-Laurent shares:

  • The transition after HSBC’s acquisition of SVB UK
  • If highly efficient growth is going to be the new normal 
  • At what stage valuations are much more resilient (and why)
  • In which circumstances he recommends venture debt to venture capital
  • Combining recurring revenue lines and venture debt facilities to cover different use cases
  • Why he’s cautiously optimistic for 2024

and more.
