State of the German Startup and Venture Capital Landscape in 2016
A Frontline & Point Nine collaboration: The German startup and VC ecosystem
Written by Mathias Ockenfels · First published on Point Nine Land on Medium, July 2016
When Thomas Olszewski of Frontline Ventures recently approached me for feedback on a research that he prepared about the German Startup and Venture Capital ecosystem I did not hesitate a second to suggest to collaborate on this project: At Point Nine Capital, one of the most frequently asked questions by various stakeholders in and outside of the industry is to explain the structure of the German ecosystem.
We hope that this short but comprehensive presentation helps people to get a good idea of
the different funding options for startups from Germany and elsewhere
the notable players in the Venture Capital and startup ecosystem
the challenges that German tech may face going forward
future opportunities & existing winners
typical terms offered to startups
successful German tech exits thus far
Consider it “work-in-progress” and a “living document” that we will try to update on a regular basis as we gather new insights and get feedback from the community. Any feedback and input will be considered and highly appreciated. A big thank you to Thomas and the team at Frontline Ventures for taking the lead on this and inviting us to collaborate.
