Investoren: Exklusiv: Die Stimmung der Wagniskapitalgeber steigt wieder

Investors report a significant improvement in the sentiment among venture capital funders, following a decline in the second quarter. Several indicators suggest a positive third quarter, according to a preliminary report to the Handelsblatt by the KfW Development Bank and the German Venture Capital Association (BVK). The business climate in the venture capital sector, which is often volatile, has improved significantly and is currently at minus 16.6 points.

While it remains in the negative range, it has increased by 19 points compared to the previous quarter. Values above the zero line indicate a positive business climate. BVK Executive Director Ulrike Hinrichs notes, "The mood on Germany's venture capital market is starting to improve. This is a positive sign, but not yet a trend reversal."

This improvement is attributed to increased investment readiness and large financing rounds. However, exit opportunities continue to be challenging, as exits typically represent exits from existing investments through sale or initial public offering.
