Influence of Business angels on growth, development and stability of the company “Entrio”

Često brojni potencijalni poduzetnici imaju velike probleme u pronalaženju sredstava potrebnih za realizaciju svojih ideja i planova. Stoga se unazad nekoliko godina izrazito popularizirao novi oblik financiranja poslovnih pothvata od strane privatnih investitora okupljenih u poslovne mreže, popularno nazvanih „poslovni anđeli“. Jedna takva mreža prisutna je i u RH te je u posljednjih desetak godina kroz nju financirano tridesetak poslovnih pothvata. Jedan od tih financiranih projekata pripada i poduzeću Entrio, koje se bavi razvojem digitalnih rješenja za prodaju ulaznica. Poduzeće je osnovano 2011. godine te je inicijalno na početku svog poslovanja dobilo 200 tisuća kuna potpore od strane poslovnih anđela. Tijekom dosadašnjeg poslovanja može se reći kako se ulaganje tih sredstava pokazalo opravdanim za investitore. Osim što je poduzeće višestruko povećalo prihode i izvoz, ono također posluje pozitivno u protekle tri godine, a također ima jako dobre pokazatelje kvalitete i sigurnosti poslovanja. Trendovi pokazatelja sugeriraju kako poduzeće posluje znatno progresivnije od prosjeka djelatnosti kojoj pripada, uz daljnje najave za iskorakom na strana tržišta, čime se može zaključiti kako je utjecaj poslovnih anđela bio izrazito pozitivan na rast i razvoj poduzeća.In many cases potential entrepreneurs deal with big problems of finding needed capital for realization of their business ideas and plans.
