Startups often find themselves confronted by an unequal access to financing
opportunities. Bank financing tends to be targeted more at established companies; at the same time, startups have to keep up with the best ideas in international competition. Further difficulties arise due to the prevalent opacity in the market for private equity, as well as due to weaknesses in the processing of financial information. What alternative forms of financing are there in Austria and Europe to stimulate the startup scene?
