Why or how could cooperation in Scaleup Launchpad be beneficial to you?
The current challenges we’re facing right now is internationalization which in
turn requires funding. With Scaleup Launchpad we’re hoping to get the support
and connections to make our company ready to face and overcome these
challenges.
In addition, cooperation with the peers in the program is valuable. Not only
because of most startups and scaleups are facing similar problems, but also
from the perspective that we’re of different nationalities and what insights that
might give.
How well do you know the Estonian and Finnish markets in your
industry?
We’re very aware of the Swedish market as that is our home arena and do have
a lot of customers here. Some of our customers have subsidiaries in both
Finland and Estonia, hence we do have presence. One of the main insights we
experienced is that the markets is similar, but the decision process are shorter
and way more pragmatic than the Swedes in general.
What do you expect from the project? -> Can the result be the opening of
the market to Estonia or Finland?
I really hope that the project can help us find one or more channels to the
market in Finland and Estonia, along with opportunities to raise the needed
capital, which can kickstart our internationalization journey.
How did the other companies in the project seem based on the initial
introduction?
Most of the other peer companies seem to face similar challenges as we do,
even though some has come a bit further in that process. It’s very inspiring to
be part of this program along with other professionals, and not the least meet
with the experienced coaches.
We’re looking forward to being part of the project over the next couple of month,
and are excited about what’s coming.
Desquare is one of three companies from the Norrköping Science Park area participating in the development program. We present all participating companies in the blogs.
