Startups

What is a Startup?

A startup is an early-stage company focused on developing a unique product or service to solve a specific market need. Startups are typically characterized by innovation, high growth potential, and a scalable business model. They often seek external funding (e.g., angel investors, venture capital) to accelerate development and market entry. Startups operate in a fast-paced environment, continuously iterating their product, business model, and go-to-market strategy.

Why are Startups relevant for investors?

Startups offer high-risk, high-reward investment opportunities. Engaging with startups early allows investors to support breakthrough innovations and potentially benefit from exponential growth.

Scale-ups

What is a Scale-up?

A scale-up is a company that has moved beyond the startup phase and is experiencing rapid growth in revenue, customer base, or team size. Typically, scale-ups have a validated product-market fit and a proven business model. They focus on expanding operations, entering new markets, and increasing market share.

Why are Scale-ups relevant for investors?

Scale-ups present an attractive investment opportunity with reduced early-stage risks. They offer scalability, predictable growth trajectories, and a clearer path to exit strategies such as acquisition or IPO.

Spin-offs

What is a Spin-off?

A spin-off is a new, independent company formed by separating part of an existing organization, often a university, research institution, or corporation. Spin-offs typically commercialize intellectual property, technologies, or innovations developed in a parent organization, bringing academic or corporate research to market.

Why are Spin-offs relevant for investors?

Spin-offs often offer cutting-edge technology and deep expertise with a high innovation potential. Their link to established institutions adds credibility, while their early-stage nature provides attractive entry points for investors seeking disruptive solutions.

SMEs 

What is an SME?

SMEs are established companies with a limited size in terms of employees and annual revenue. They represent a vital segment of the economy, contributing significantly to innovation, employment, and GDP. SMEs often have stable operations, a defined customer base, and a sustainable business model.

Why are SMEs relevant for investors?

SMEs can provide solid, lower-risk investment opportunities with consistent returns. They may be exploring growth through digitization, international expansion, or succession planning, making them ideal candidates for private equity, growth capital, or strategic partnerships.
