Good ideas need not only time but also money to become marke\u00adta\u00adble products. The German rese\u00adarch land\u00adscape has had good ideas for gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adons and has enjoyed a good repu\u00adta\u00adtion world\u00adwide for deca\u00addes. Howe\u00adver, successfully brin\u00adging the results of rese\u00adarch and deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment to market is often initi\u00adally a ques\u00adtion of the neces\u00adsary start-up capital.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most young rese\u00adar\u00adchers, although they have an inno\u00adva\u00adtive idea, lack the colla\u00adte\u00adral to get a loan the tradi\u00adtio\u00adnal way. The times to obtain private capi\u00adtal from venture capi\u00adtal compa\u00adnies or other inves\u00adtors are still diffi\u00adcult. The risk for early-stage tech\u00adno\u00adlogy invest\u00adments is too high for most inves\u00adtors. Further\u00admore, young compa\u00adnies in the tech\u00adno\u00adlogy sector are often confron\u00adted with long deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment and sales cycles. Finan\u00adcing their rese\u00adarch and deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment projects on their own, even to the point of market matu\u00adrity, is not easy for them. This makes it all the more important to find a finan\u00adcing part\u00adner in the start-up phase who under\u00adstands the tech\u00adno\u00adlogy and can help the company successfully enter the market.<\/p>\n

Howe\u00adver, the market for seed finan\u00adcing dried up almost comple\u00adtely between 2000 and 2005. In 2005, German invest\u00adment compa\u00adnies made a full 20 invest\u00adments in the start-up sector. Measu\u00adred against the size of the German economy, this is insuf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent. Getting seed capi\u00adtal for start-up projects in the tech\u00adno\u00adlogy sector was almost impos\u00adsi\u00adble at the time. For the Fede\u00adral Minis\u00adtry of Econo\u00admics and Tech\u00adno\u00adlogy, other indus\u00adtrial compa\u00adnies and KfW Banken\u00adgruppe, it was ther\u00ade\u00adfore obvious to set up a fund for inno\u00adva\u00adtion finan\u00adcing in 2005 in order to provide a targe\u00adted boost to the sever\u00adely decli\u00adning seed market.<\/p>\n

At the time, High-Tech Gr\u00fcn\u00adder\u00adfonds was itself conside\u00adred a start-up in the market for early-stage finan\u00adciers. After the first five years of invest\u00adment, its port\u00adfo\u00adlio now includes around 200 highly inno\u00adva\u00adtive tech\u00adno\u00adlogy compa\u00adnies \u2014 the selec\u00adtion from more than 2,700 submit\u00adted start-up projects was not always easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41017,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2452,2506,2514],"product_tag":[1820,1821,1826,1831,1835],"class_list":{"0":"post-43933","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-ebook-en","7":"product_cat-fyb-2011-en","8":"product_cat-dr-michael-brandkamp-en","9":"product_tag-michael-brandkamp-en","10":"product_tag-market-ready-products","11":"product_tag-start-up-capital","12":"product_tag-development-and-sales-cycles","13":"product_tag-early-technological-stage","14":"pa_sprache-english-3","15":"pa_sprache-german","17":"first","18":"outofstock","19":"taxable","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-variable"},"yoast_head":"\nStart-up capital for good ideas - FYB Financial Yearbook<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fyb.de\/en\/produkt\/seed-capital-for-good-ideas\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Start-up capital for good ideas - FYB Financial Yearbook\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Good ideas need not only time but also money to become marketable products.
