Shaping the future:
Investing in startups with HTGF

Public

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and the KfW Capital have been our anchor investors since our first-generation fund. HTGF is supported by strong partners and offers startups reliable seed capital and investors a stable environment for sustainable investments.

Private

With each fund generation, we have been able to attract more companies from the realm of business: 45 private investors, leading German companies from industry and SMEs as well as Family Offices, are investing in the fourth fund – with a total volume of almost EUR 500 million.

For startups, this means not only financing opportunities but also access to a strong network of strategic partners from corporations to SMEs. Fund investors benefit from an early insight into technological developments and attractive co-investment opportunities.

Partnership

HTGF has played a significant role in shaping the German startup ecosystem over the past twenty years. Strong connections have been made, a large network has been created and we share it. We see ourselves as an enabler and resource provider.
