Founders we are looking for

Entrepreneurial passion is contagious. Engaged founding teams, who stand 100% behind the common idea, are our target group. As far as the idea is concerned, once we are open to everything, it should answer the question: “What solution do you have for what problem? With the TechVision Fonds and associated co-investors, we can finance startups with our investment, from the product idea to the foundation to the prototype.

S-UBG & TechVision Fonds

From the outside it looks like one and many founders ask: “Who will be our partner – the S-UBG or TechVision Fonds? The latter is true, we make startup investments with the TechVision Fonds, SME investments are the domain of S-UBG. S-UBG invests “off the balance sheet”, i.e. its own capital, in selected companies. That is why long-term investments are also possible here. As a venture capital fund, the TechVision Fonds specialises in financing early-stage startups with high risk. For this purpose, money is collected from investors, which is to be repaid with a return at the end of the term. The end of the term is invested in such a way (> 10 years) that we are able to give the start-ups the development time they need to mature.

The TechVision Fonds ist managed by a team provided by S-UBG.

History

2020
TechVision Fonds I fresh capital extended target region
Seed Fund III becomes TechVision Fund. The start-up scene is changing worldwide and larger sums are invested in individual start-ups. The background to this is that it has been recognised that game changers often need more capital than originally assumed before they can break through to the market. In order to meet this development, the Seed Fund III was increased and additional investors joined the founding shareholders. On 1.1.2020 the TechVision Fund was launched with a fund volume of around € 40 million. New investors are Sparkasse Düren, Sparkasse Krefeld, Nomainvest, S-VC GmbH, Babor Group and private investors.

After the second seed fund had also been fully financed, the investors decided to provide further capital for start-ups in the region with the Seed Fund III. The Seed Fund III thus represents our third and largest generation of funds to date. It was launched in April 2018 with a volume of € 19 million in the first closing. After the second closing, the fund currently has a volume of € 21.5 million.
