Germany, we are writing the 30rd of Oktober 2006. The world startup and venture business grows. Only in Germany there is downhardedness and darkness. Is this reality?
Yes and No.
No, because a few projects and companies, especially in the Lifescience Business gets funding through german but also foreign VC Companies.
Yes. because the money invested in germany from venture capital companies in startups in one quarter was invested by VCs in the US in one or two days. Germany is still a big economy player in the world. Compared to this the investment made in new companies is a shame.
The reasons for this imbalance? On the one hand there is a a real mentality problem. The first real founder boom in Germany was in the period of promoterism. A Long time ago. The new economy boom here in my opinion was only a liquidy driven copycat boom imported from the US. The following stock market doom thrown back the whole country for many years
On the other hand there are a few new young founders at the moment try to beginn a new kind of entrepreneurship. In the last weeks I talk to some young germany guys. I my discussions with them I think I can feel a new enthusiasm for the entrepreneurship, for founding companies. And this young guys have fun to starting up something new. Really fun.
Ok, lets say there is a new generation of founders growing up at the moment in germany. But why not more new innovative and technology based companies started up? I think its a lack of capital at the moment? Not a lack of ideas. We have more people who want to found something compared to available money to fincance this. And there is a also a major lack of seed capital for the early stage investments in projects before forming as a company.
In my opinion the german startup market have a big potential. I hope that this will get around the international venture scene.
