Founders sound the alarm - This is what startup financing is really like

12/08/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Startup financing is a hot topic in Germany. This is because more and more young companies have been founded in recent years, but there is a lack of sufficient funding to support and promote these companies.

Many founders and investors therefore complain about a lack of funding for startups. According to a study by KfW-Gründermonitor, financing conditions for startups in Germany are poor compared to other countries.

In addition, there is often a financing backlog, as investors are very hesitant and cautious about investing in new companies. Investors from abroad in particular show little interest in German startups.

Nevertheless, there are also positive developments. For example, some startups have been able to grow significantly in recent years with successful financing rounds. This shows that there are also opportunities for successful startup financing in Germany.

At the same time, however, it is also important for investors and founders to exchange ideas better and work together more closely in order to jointly advance the topic of startup financing. Only in this way can startups in Germany be successfully financed and promoted.
