As Austria prepares to launch the rot-weiß-rot Dachfonds, a fund-of-funds aimed at strengthening the local innovation and VC landscape, it’s worth looking to successful models abroad, such as KfW Capital in Germany.
Founded as a subsidiary of the state-owned KfW Bankengruppe, KfW Capital was created to close the growth funding gap for tech-driven companies. Like Austria’s Dachfonds concept, its mission is to expand access to venture capital and support a more robust startup ecosystem. In just five years, it has become one of Europe’s largest VC fund investors, with €2.5 billion committed to 135 funds.
In this exclusive interview, CEO Jörg Goschin shares what it took to build KfW Capital and what Austria might take from Germany’s experience.
