Investment-Support for (Corporate) Venture Capitalists

Investors want to know their targets - also in finance

Not only Startups themselves face various challenges in finance during the different stages of development, but also institutional and strategic investors need reliable and stable financial information of their investments in order to make the right decisions.

This already starts with the initial investment. When selecting targets, investment managers often concentrate strongly on examining purely commercial aspects. The areas of finance and tax are regularly dealt with only rudimentarily.

Often, there is simply no expertise to analyze the data provided by the target and to prepare it for the investment decision from a finance perspective.

Typical challenges of investors

Assessment of risks in finance at initial investment
Lack of own resources to support targets
Lack of in-depth finance expertise of investment managers
Communication barriers between group-like structures of a corporate VC and the lean and agile structures in the Startup
