Success story of Interactio exit
A group of private business angels co-invested in Interactio (remote simultaneous interpretation platform) together with Coinvest Capital and exited after one year, as the next funding round was USD 30 million. Investment value has grown 9 times; however, the Fund only retained 6% compound annual interest and transferred all excess returns to co-investing business angels, increasing their return to 34 times.
