High-Tech Gründerfonds is a venture platform backing German and European technology businesses from pre-seed through growth, across deep tech, life sciences and digital technology.

Its specialist investment areas separate industrial, climate and deep technology from life sciences and chemistry, and from digital technology. That structure accommodates companies with scientific development and industrial deployment requirements alongside software businesses.

HTGF’s mandate includes technologies that are early, complex or require a long development horizon. Its team combines technical specialists and startup operators, connecting research-led founders with financing and an industrial investment network as they commercialise their work.
