German angel investors and startups alike should have no fears finding their perfect match, as Leapfunder went live in Germany. The Amsterdam-based angel investor network has been paving the way for crowdfunding in the Netherlands for some time, and they are now determined to take on even bigger challenges.Â
Increased value
Germany has a very mature venture investment ecosystem. And while this is true, a lot of it still is really ‘hand-made’, thus lacking transparency and standardization. Investors tend to have their own contracts and pooling structures. This is where Leapfunder comes in. By working with experienced German angel investors and lawyers, a consensus is being developed around pooling investors under German law. Leapfunder’s approach could make everything more predictable, thus creating a lot of value in the market.
