Zukunft.Gründen transforms visions into measurable value. As a dynamic venture studio, we support innovation-driven individuals and companies on their entrepreneurial journeys – whether it’s launching a startup or guiding established businesses through innovation processes.
Our approach combines venture capital, tailored accelerator programs, and customized innovation services to optimally support both founders and traditional SMEs.
We accompany startups from the initial idea all the way to market leadership and make targeted angel investments to push forward innovative projects. Our close collaboration with the Nürtingen-Geislingen University of Applied Sciences (HfWU) provides founders with academic expertise and hands-on insights that anchor future-oriented ideas in a sustainable way.
Our mission is to foster entrepreneurship on a broad scale – to actively address the major challenges of our time and create a positive social impact. With an interdisciplinary team and a clear focus on sustainable growth, we create value for our partners, the economy, and society.
Driven by a passion for innovation and a holistic support approach, we pave the way for a successful entrepreneurial future. Zukunft.Gründen stands for bold ideas, entrepreneurial spirit, and sustainable development – and we invite you to join us on this journey.
