Pre:start Financing

How do I bridge the time until funding starts?

The early phase of a startup can be expensive. Startup teams need time for research, buying materials and/or data collection. We at the Startup Center provide support for teams from the beginning with our Pre:start Financing program, with a one-time amount of 500 euros prior to application and a further, monthly grant of 500 euros for the bridging period between application and approval of programs like EXIST and Junge Innovatoren - limited to a maximum of three months.
