High-Tech Gründerfonds, HTGF for short, was founded in 2005 and is a success story. In the latest podcast issue, you can find out why: over 500 investments, 104 exits and 2 IPOs are the balance. And members of Deutsche Börse Venture Network are doing well: HTGF is one of the network's partners. For tech start-ups that are not older than three years, it is worthwhile to take a closer look at the HTGF.

In this podcast, you will learn about the particularities of early-stage financing and how the HTGF implements its strategy. Joel Kaczmarek, Editor-in-Chief of digital kompakt, talks to Peter Fricke from Deutsche Börse Venture Network and Alexander von Frankenberg from HTGF.
