Azi am fost și la discuția: ‘somebody has to get paid to fix this’, o discuție despre antreprenoriatul de impact și investițiile dedicate acestui sector.

Un dialog construit de @marc_impact_network, “a network of like minded people”. Adică fix genul de oameni care, ca să salveze lumea, pornesc un business.

If an impact entrepreneur wins, we all win.

Tic Nica @growceanu - investors want to see their money in companies fixing the world in the way they want to see it changed.

there’s no compromise if you have an impact business, pitch how your business can be a billion$ company if you want venture money - @norrskenfoundation

@growceanu - impact is a great differentiator, but stop selling the impact story and start selling the business story

Ce face ca un loc în care stai temporar să se simtă, totuși, ca acasă? Pentru noi, răspunsul nu ține doar de apartamentul în care locuiești. Încă din 2012, proiectele Urban Spaces pornesc de la ideea că locuirea continuă dincolo de cei patru pereți—în spațiile comune, în relația cu orașul și, mai ales, în comunitatea din care faci parte.

Urban Spaces BTR duce această filozofie într-o nouă direcție: locuire flexibilă, fără compromisuri în ceea ce privește designul, confortul sau sentimentul de apartenență. O casă temporară într-o comunitate permanentă, în cel mai mare proiect al nostru de până acum: Urban Spaces Aviației.

Și mai este o premieră: pentru prima dată, deschidem posibilitatea de a investi alături de noi în dezvoltarea unui proiect Urban Spaces, printr-o platformă de investiții reglementată. Urban Spaces BTR este deschis spre investiție pe @growceanu.

Inside Urban Spaces BTR, part two: materialele, mobilierul și detaliile

„Am folosit materiale și texturi cât mai simple și naturale: pardoseală din lemn stratificat, placaje din lemn, blaturi din terrazzo sau marmură colorată, plăci ceramice simple puse în evidență cu ajutorul chitului colorat și plafoane din beton aparent.”

Pentru mobilier, Andrei Butușină continuă aceeași idee de funcționalitate, cu piese custom și ready-made construite în jurul unor linii geometrice simple și al unei estetici modern retro, cu influențe subtile mid-century. Detaliile apar pe parcurs: mobilierul custom ascunde mici elemente care se descoperă abia în utilizare, iar iluminatul combină corpuri decorative cu lumină tehnică și arhitecturală.

Un interior în care materialele rămân simple, iar personalitatea vine din felul în care sunt puse împreună.

2026 nu este un an chiar ușor. Mai investesc românii? 👇

Răspunsul lui Tic Nica, Chief Growth Officer Growceanu: apetitul există, dar piața românească rămâne cu mult în urma piețelor dezvoltate la capitolul intermediere financiară și activare de capital privat pentru afaceri locale.

Deci da, interesul e acolo. Maturitatea pieței, nu încă.

🤔 Diferența dintre crypto și investițiile private nu este despre randament, ci despre reguli. Iar când vine vorba de banii tăi, regulile contează.

Tic Nica, Chief Growth Manager Growceanu: ,,Funcționăm sub autorizare ASF, după regulamentul european de crowdfunding, protecția investitorilor este comparabilă cu bursa sau un fond de investiții clasic".

Design notes from the inside: @andrei_butusina_ despre Urban Spaces BTR: „Amenajarea este una contemporană, eclectică, cu influențe scandinave și industriale. Am gândit spațiile cât mai versatile și funcționale, atât pentru închirieri pe termen scurt, cât și mediu spre lung. Totul a fost conceput pentru un stil de viață urban, cât mai conectat de oraș.”

Paleta de culori merge în aceeași direcție: vibrantă și contrastantă, cu tonuri de pământ—teracotă și portocaliu ars, nuanțe intense de verde și accente metalice, în contrast cu fundalul neutru al pereților albi și lemnului natural. Un design care păstrează echilibrul între personalitate și funcționalitate și între sentimentul de acasă și flexibilitatea unei locuiri temporare.

📈 Bursa se află la maxime istorice. Companiile mari se listează la valori uriașe, iar cele care cresc bine se tranzacționează la multipli de 20-30x, ceea ce înseamnă, teoretic, 20 de ani până îți recuperezi investiția.

Concluzia lui Tic Nica, Chief Growth Officer Growceanu: mare parte din potențialul de creștere al unei companii se "consumă" înainte ca aceasta să se listeze la bursă. Companii precum Revolut aleg să rămână private mult mai mult timp decât era normal altădată.

De aceea, piața privată devine tot mai atractivă, acolo potențialul de creștere nu e încă "ars", iar multiplii sunt mai mici.
