Venture Building – our
Concept of success
Why support is important in the start-up scene
More than ever, we need courageous founders and innovative solutions that play their part in solving the challenges of our time – both large and small. Be it climate neutrality, cyber security or simply the digitalisation of existing business processes to survive in the market – our world needs digital transformation more than ever before.
However, founding and building a company or developing a new product are still demanding tasks, and as in the past only very few start-ups establish themselves in the respective markets. More than 90 percent of them fail.
Below we identify the most common reasons for failure:
- Lacking market demand and no existing demand for the product or service
- Poor business planning and execution
- Lack of capital and financing
- Insufficient knowledge, expertise and experience of the founders and team

Venture Building
Carsten Puschmann explains what makes the Venture Builder Scale Now so special
On the road to success with us
In the first step, we evaluate market opportunities and the start-up potential. If we identify the idea as forward-looking, we validate and optimise the existing business model. We work with the agility of a start-up so that our portfolio start-ups operate efficiently and act quickly within a very short time. Our start-ups are early-stage, either pre-seed or seed stage, from the cyber security, proptech, B2B tech and food tech sectors.
Scale Now GmbH starts precisely at these points. As a venture builder, we see ourselves as a strong strategic partner for our portfolio start-ups and at the same time are firmly integrated in the daily operational business. Our start-ups benefit from our wealth of industry experience as well as our capital input.
