From vision to growth - we secure your financing.
Hardware is tough - and the financing environment for deeptech and cleantech companies is just as challenging. Despite this - or perhaps because of it - FCF works with founding teams who want to shape the future with innovative ideas, pioneering technologies and the ambition to change entire markets.
But to fully develop this potential, they need the right access to capital. We know the particular challenges of these industries: high R&D costs, long-term business plans, hardware-based business models and often limited investor visibility. With a clear strategic financing approach, we support entrepreneurs in successfully implementing their technology and business vision.
Financing instruments for your growth
Venture Capital / Equity
We bring companies together with the right investors - tailored to their sector, growth phase, financing requirements and strategic goals.
Venture debt
FCF has in-depth expertise in non-dilutive, equity-replacing financing instruments for technology companies. FCF is also a leading partner in the area of growth debt financing - particularly in cooperation with the European Investment Bank as part of the InnovFin program.
Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS)
FCF supports technology companies in the implementation of Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) models. This financing model makes it possible not to sell hardware, but to provide it flexibly in return for recurring payments - including service, maintenance and upgrades. HaaS creates predictable recurring revenues and reduces your customers' reluctance to buy.
