In­vest­ment, liquidity, financial resources

Indivi­dual finan­cing-Support by Scale Now.

One of the most important factors when founding a start-up is liquidity. However, only about one in three start-ups, in particular in the early stage phase, has enough financial resources to build and expand the young company. At the same time, financing rounds are a lengthy and complex process, bootstrapping depends on the business model and is only successful in the rarest of cases, and the founders’ equity that is made available is usually insufficient.

As an experienced venture builder, Scale Now supports the preparation of upcoming financing rounds and connects its portfolio start-ups with the right family offices and investors. At the same time, we help investors select the right investment from our portfolio.

Industry

Focus

Cyber Security

Cyber security is one of the markets of the future. Technologies and best practices from this sector protect sensitive data and information as well as critical systems against a growing threat of digital attacks.

PropTech

Proptech startups are revolutionizing the traditional real estate industry. In addition to increasing efficiency through digital management and administration tools, proptechs are also developing technology-based solutions to new and existing problems in the real estate industry.

B2B Tech

B2B Tech is more important today than ever before. Innovative and dynamic technologies are needed to remain competitive in the market. Traditional industries in particular cannot survive in the long term without implementing forward-looking tech solutions.

Food Tech

Food Tech combines new technologies in the food industry and digital tools to support consumers. The Food Tech sector thus sets new impulses and enables the food industry to quickly make scalable adjustments to changing consumer demands. In addition, Food Tech offers a major ecological advantage through its sustainability factor.
