BayStartUP

BayStartUP is the Bavarian startup network for founders, investors, and corporations, acting as a central, non-commercial institution for startup financing in Bavaria. It is supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. The organization's primary function is to connect technology-oriented startups with its network of over 400 business angels and 200 institutional investors, facilitating financing rounds from pre-seed to Series A. BayStartUP provides support through business plan competitions, extensive coaching, and workshops, but does not invest capital from its own fund. Since 2015, it has mediated over €546 million in capital.
