Technologie Beteiligungs Gesellschaft (tbg) M.B.H.'s business is based on the idea to co-invest with other (lead) investors. Using this plan, tbg was founded in 1989 to stimulate the ramp-up of the German venture capital market and to bootstrap high-tech startups to successful operations. TBG's business concept is to only invest into new ventures in case private or institutional venture capital has been committed at the same or higher level. This concept has shown to be very successful: tbg has committed DM 1.6B for more than 1300 high-tech startups since it began operations in 1989. Two thirds of the investments were made into startups that were younger than 3 years. This way tbg has been able to mobilize more than DM 3B together with lead investors to create more than 10000 jobs and more than a dozen IPO's on Germany's Neuer Market.
