High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) is Germany’s most active and leading seed stage investor. We finance
technology-driven companies in the fields of cleantech, robotics, drug development, chemical processes or new
software. The fund is focused on investing in small companies (younger than 1 year) with a high level of
innovation. The company or an independent branch of it is domiciled in Germany. It must be based upon a
technological innovation – significant and close to proof of concept with in-depth technological knowledge and
expertise. The aim is to overcome the gap in early-stage enterprise finance and to enable the firm to obtain risk
capital. Typically, High-Tech Gründerfonds invests EUR 600,000 in the seed stage, with the potential for up to a
total of EUR 2 million per portfolio company in follow-on financing. Investors in this public/private partnership
include the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy, the KfW Banking Group, as well as strategic corporate
investors. High-Tech Gründerfonds has about EUR 576 million under management in two funds (EUR 272 million
HTGF I, EUR 304 million HTGF II).
