Meet Viktor Deri!

💰 Starting my career at the conjunction of IT and finance, I managed bank-owned investment service companies (Budapest Bank, CIB, MFB) active in the Hungarian securities market in the 1990s. I also had multiple positions as chairman/member of several organizations in the field of securities exchange aiming at the development of the domestic capital market. Since the 2000s, I have been involved in the development of the domestic venture capital market as part of the state’s initiative.
📊 During my 12 years in the venture capital market, I have gained outstanding experience in the operating conditions, opportunities, problems, and investor expectations of the Hungarian SME sector, as well as in the selection of appropriate target companies and the specific characteristics of venture capital investments in the sector.
Crowdfunding can be used to raise capital at a lower cost. 😃 As an investor, decisions can be made based on simpler rules, and shorter historical data. To mitigate the risk of investment, diversify your capital into multiple projects.

Meet Miklos Mohai!

👨‍🎓 I have a degree in economics and horticulture. Twelve years ago I joined the family office associated with Csaba Lantos and today I am the head of asset management. Our investment portfolio is well diversified. 🩺 It is made up of healthcare or early stage life science (start-up) investments, financial investments and some engineering industry companies as well . We have been minority investors in Tokeportal since the beginning, continuously helping the start-up not only with investments but also with advice. I also got involved in Tokeportal’s own campaign, because at last Tokeportal is a transparent and accessible link between Hungarian small investors and innovative domestic startups. 😎

Meet Zoltan Sipos!

As the founder of the marketing agency Kreatív Kontroll Kft. I work as a strategic consultant and interim marketing manager in several companies. 📊My professional opinion is that due to digital technology the traditional advertising model is disappearing and interactive communication is the key to success. So is the communication and marketing profession fragmenting into separate disciplines and many freelancers are emerging who are no longer attracted by traditional agencies. So in the future we will work with professional communities rather than complex agencies. 🧠This will lead to a revaluation of the work of marketing strategists and project managers. Tokeportal is also targeting an existing market with a new business model, which is why I felt I definitely wanted to become one of its investors.

Meet Barbara Vero!

After 18 years at Nestlé (including 8 years as a board member), I have had the opportunity to get to know a lot of #startups through my own consultancy firm focusing on the development of individuals, teams and organisations. Nowadays I work as a mentor in almost all Hungarian incubators and accelerators. 🏫 Besides mentoring I teach master’s and MBA students at the Metropolitan University. In addition to my professional responsibilities, I am a happy mother of 2 grown boys. I am also trying to be a successful angel investor. Firstly I joined the Women Business Angels association and more recently HUNBAN. In these organisations I represent 3 core values and I am working on their implementation: screening and developing the knowledge and skills of founders, preparing the organisation for growth and last but not least recognising the importance of women leaders. I always look for talent everywhere. Luckily my HR background and years of experience help me a lot in founding the bright talents. 👩‍🦰 As an angel investor I also believe it’s important to have female investors in the ecosystem. #Crowdfunding can serve this purpose well. I invested in Tokeportal because of the ecosystem development and I am happy to see how docile and mentorable their team is.
