TechnoStart was set up as an investment adviser and manager of venture capital funds in 1990. In 1991, we started to invest from the "TechnoStart Beteiligungsfonds", a first-time seed fund raised and managed by Michael Mayer. It took until 1998 and the successful exit from TechnoStart's first biotech seed investment in MorphoSys for TechnoStart to transform into a fully fledged Venture Capital organisation with a team differentiated according to functions and technology areas.
Since then, TechnoStart has not only offered strategic, financial and management support at the seed stage, but also assisted companies to steer their course through the full venture cycle. Nevertheless, TechnoStart clearly focuses its first investments on early stage investments, contributing only in a few cases to later rounds outside its own portfolio and in up to three rounds of finance within its own portfolio.
Depending on their individual legal structure, TechnoStart serves as general partner and manager or as investment adviser for funds. All executives and staff are employed by this company.
