Our goal is to sustainably strengthen Austria as an attractive location for investors and entrepreneurs. We maintain a close and continuous dialogue with political decision-makers. Since 2022, we have been represented on the German Federal Government's Startup Council , where we act as a voice for the interests of our members and investors in general. Our initiatives range from the implementation of the umbrella fund and the FlexCo. to the introduction of an exemption for participations and the optimization of employee participation models. In our paper “Vision 2030” we have formulated our long-term vision as well as the necessary political changes for a sustainable investment ecosystem in Austria.

Jetzt Pitch Deck hochladen: Startups, Scale‑ups & KMU erhalten Sichtbarkeit bei über 350 Investor:innen im invest.austria Dealflow – inkl. Matching & Feedback. Find your investor and that for free Get the right investors on board! Apply now Startups What is a startup? A startup is an early-stage company focused on developing a unique product or service to solve a specific market need. Startups are typically characterized by innovation, high growth potential, and a scalable business model. They often seek external funding (eg, angel investors, venture capital) to accelerate development and market entry. Startups operate in a fast-paced environment, continuously iterating their product, business model, and go-to-market strategy. Why are startups relevant for investors? Startups offer high-risk, high-reward investment opportunities. Engaging with startups early allows investors to support breakthrough innovations and potentially benefit from exponential growth. Scale-ups What is a scale-up? A scale-up is a company that has moved beyond the startup phase and is experiencing rapid growth in revenue, customer base, or team size. Typically, scale-ups have a validated product-market fit and a proven business model. They focus on expanding operations, entering new markets, and increasing market share. Why are scale-ups relevant for investors? Scale-ups present an attractive investment opportunity with reduced early-stage risks. They offer scalability, predictable growth trajectories, and a clearer path to exit strategies such as acquisition or IPO. Spin-offs What is a spin-off? A spin-off is a new, independent company formed by separating part of an existing organization, often a university, research institution, or corporation. Spin-offs typically commercialize intellectual property, technologies, or innovations developed in a parent organization, bringing academic or corporate research to market. Why are spin-offs relevant for investors? Spin-offs often offer cutting-edge technology and deep expertise with a high innovation potential. Their link to established institutions adds credibility, while their early-stage nature provides attractive entry points for investors seeking disruptive solutions. SMEs What is an SME? SMEs are established companies with a limited size in terms of employees and annual revenue. They represent a vital segment of the economy, contributing significantly to innovation, employment, and GDP. SMEs often have stable operations, a defined customer base, and a sustainable business model. Why are SMEs relevant for investors? SMEs can provide solid, lower-risk investment opportunities with consistent returns. They may be exploring growth through digitization, international expansion, or succession planning, making them ideal candidates for private equity, growth capital, or strategic partnerships. 1 Looking for funding? Share more information about your startup, scale-up, spin-off, or SME with us. 2 You will receive prompt feedback on your documents. 3 If your documents are convincing and informative, we will contact suitable investors from our network. 4 Your company will also be listed on our member platform to gain additional visibility among our members. 5 If you are interested, you will be contacted by suitable investors and receive valuable feedback in an initial meeting.
