What is FTTF?

FTTF is a venture capital firm located at Kaufingerstr. 24, 80331 Munich, specializing in providing early-stage and seed funding to startups.

With a focus on deep technology startups that lack a proven use case in their initial stages, FTTF aims to bridge the financing gap encountered by these companies. Catering specifically to entrepreneurs and startups utilizing or seeking Fraunhofer technology, FTTF is an active supporter from pre-seed to early growth phases.

The firm boasts a fund volume of EUR 60 million, with an investment range starting from EUR 250k for pre-seed financing up to EUR 1.25 million for further development. Additionally, FTTF offers follow-on investments reaching up to EUR 5 million.

Backed by the European Investment Fund and utilizing the financial support from InnovFin Equity under the Horizon 2020 Financial Instruments and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), FTTF extends increased access to financing for productive investments within the European Union.

The firm benefits from over 30 years of experience in co-founding, managing, and operating deep tech startups, offering extensive knowledge in setting up a company and its business model.

With operational speed and offices in Munich, Bonn, and Freiburg, FTTF provides fast investment implementation and support. Their partnership with Fraunhofer incubator programs like AHEAD and CoLab, as well as collaboration with over 70 Fraunhofer Institutes, provides a robust tech ecosystem for the founders.

A broad network of investors for subsequent financing rounds and a hands-on approach enrich FTTF's portfolio, which includes companies across various sectors such as industrial tech, energy, agritech, space, proptech, and more.
