Since 1995 Bayern Kapital have been supporting young, Bavarian technology companies competently and patiently with venture and growth capital and access to a wide-reaching network. From seed phase to exit or IPO and during growth, scale-up, expansion and internationalization – we support Bavarian innovators in turning their business idea into an internationally successful business.

Are you an entrepreneur? With ticket sizes of up to EUR 25 million we can actively support your tech company on its way to becoming an internationally successful player through smaller and larger financing rounds. We are ready to take the risk – you offer the opportunities:

Are you an investor? We always work with you cooperatively as a partner, never as a competitor. Many national and international venture capital investors, business angels, multipliers, accelerators and entrepreneurially experienced experts regularly cooperate with us for mutual success.

A cornerstone of our investment strategy is to give our investments the time they require for successful, sustainable growth and development: With EUR 700 million in assets under management, we offer all it takes to support young companies over longer investment periods of eight to ten years if required. In this way, we have already accompanied more than 320 start- and scale-ups on their growth journey – in cooperation with independent private investors and business angels, we help these regional players to become the international technology powerhouses of tomorrow: DeepTech and High-tech – Made in Bavaria.
