We are experts in startup financing and corporate growth
BayStartUP ist mit seinen Vorgängerorganisationen seit 1996 in der bayerischen Startup-Szene aktiv. In über 20 Jahren am Markt haben wir ein in Deutschland einmaliges Wissen und Netzwerk in den Bereichen Startup-Finanzierung und -Wachstum aufgebaut. Wir haben seit der Dotcom-Blase Anfang der 2000er fast jeden Hype kommen und gehen sehen und gelernt, die wirklich starken Startup-Themen zu identifizieren.
BayStartUP and its predecessor organizations have been active in the Bavarian startup scene since 1996. In over 20 years on the market, we have built up both a vast knowledge and network in the areas of startup financing and growth that is unique in Germany. Since the dotcom bubble at the beginning of the 2000s, we have seen almost every hype come and go and have learned to identify the really strong startups out there.
- We provide startups with real expert insights into financing issues and the needs and requirements of investors.
- We only present pre-qualified business models to investors in our network; we know all investors personally and know what investment interests they are pursuing.
- In cooperation projects with industrial companies, we respond individually to search fields and requirements and can put ourselves in the shoes of both the startup and industrial perspective.
- Our sponsors actively support the startup scene with their expertise and industry experience – we actively involve them in the cooperation with the founders.
We are proud to be able to act as an absolutely neutral authority between startups and other stakeholders. This is made possible by our shareholder structure, which is based on two support associations. At BayStartUP, we are open to the topics of our startups, investors and industrial customers. We operate throughout Bavaria, and are also contact partners beyond Bavaria's borders, especially in the context of our Venture Conferences and industry cooperations.
We are drivers for networking and mutual exchange
We offer startups, investors and industrial companies networking opportunities on a wide variety of platforms, ranging from high-caliber and in some cases exclusive award events of our business plan competitions to the legendary Startup Demo Nights. Our partner network runs throughout Bavaria – with universities, municipalities, start-up institutions and coworking spaces. Last but not least, our coaching in all Bavarian digital incubators gives us an excellent overview of the regional startup scene and actively brings together founders and other players from the ecosystem.
