C4 Capital Markets closes the large gap in expansion financing for growth companies in Austria. Many start-ups have venture capital requirements of over EUR 1.5 million. However, angels usually provide significantly less capital per financing round. Nevertheless, the founders are often heavily diluted in the early phase. In addition, startup founders often spend more than 50% of their time raising capital, which in turn keeps them away from operational activities. Founders are also usually entering uncharted territory when they want to implement capital market projects and are not on an equal footing with experienced capital market experts when it comes to venture funds.
Founded in 2001, our company is the market leader in early-stage financing in Austria with more than 150 transactions. We have also been able to raise an average of more than EUR 1.1 million per transaction for our clients in newer forms of financing, such as participatory subordinated loans via crowdinvesting campaigns. Funds that are seen as equity by banks/funding agencies.
