With the launch of Syndicates – our new product for investors – getting closer, it was time to meet in person and align on strategy. This much can be said: Syndicates are the missing piece. They will enable accelerators, funds, and angels with dealflow to build their own investment communities, exercise their pro rata rights, and actually earn money for sourcing deals. If this sounds like something you can't miss: we're already in talks with the first parties interested in running their own syndicate – feel free to reach out!

We just upgraded our Agentic Fundraising: our MCP now connects you to Dealroom! Dealroom is one of the largest databases for investors and startups worldwide – and we use exactly that to help you find the right investors even faster. With our MCP, you can now analyze your startup and run a detailed search across the Dealroom database. You get a list of investors that fit your company and can import them directly into your Tokenize.it account as leads. For some investors, their email is already included. For others, you can use data prospecting to kick off your outreach.

Come meet us at HTGF Day today and tomorrow at STATION Berlin! For us, HTGF Day is one of the networking highlights of the year — basically all relevant investors come together for two days of non-stop knowledge exchange. This year, the event is particularly exciting for us, as we are about to launch Syndicates! With this new feature of our platform, we offer a new product for the investor side: super easy co-investing and monetization of dealflow. How? By allowing investors to become syndicate leads and share their dealflow with their own community!

Last week, we attended Hannover Messe for the first time. And before you ask: the robot sadly still included a human inside. While there was a strong focus on energy, hydrogen, and other sectors, one entire hall was dedicated to startups. Some already knew us, others didn’t — and now they do. It was great to discover so many different ideas and business models. Haven’t met us in person yet? Next up are the HTGF Family Day in Berlin and the Founders Only event by AustrianStartups in Vienna!

We need your help one more time! With the Global Startup Awards just around the corner, we’re asking for your vote to bring home the title “Startup of the Year”. We reached the regional stage together — now it’s time to win on the global level! Vote for us: vote.globalstartupawards.com…

This time, we’re bringing you an innovative toothpaste, a drink that lets you experience the positive effects of alcohol without alcohol, a solution to the ammonia issue in agriculture, farming on belts, and an innovation for your bathroom. Sign up via the Zoom link in the event! When: April 16th, 2:00-12:30pm Where: Zoom –us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…

We’ve just hit a new milestone: €15 million in total assets tokenized! In September last year, we celebrated €10 million and decided to stop counting individual millions — and instead move to five-million milestones. Roughly half a year later, here we are. Thank you for being part of our journey.

We’ve updated our pricing and our website! Over the past year, we noticed that we are often perceived as a crowdinvesting platform – when in fact, we can tailor our platform exactly to your fundraising needs and beyond. That’s why we’re no longer talking about Private- and Public-Fundraise, but simply about Faundraise. We’ve also introduced packages for every stage of your startup, from onboarding your first investors to raising a €1M growth round. These packages not only offer different levels of support, but also give you the option to reduce our transaction fee to 0%!

Fundraising directly in Claude? Soon to be a reality with our MCP connector. Two weeks ago, team offsite, day one – the task: implement Claude into our company workflows. One day later: our devs were already testing a Claude MCP connector for our platform. Fast forward to our Foundacious event in Munich last week: a live stage demo, including a pitch deck review, sourcing investors based on fit from a list, creating Private Offers for those investors, and drafting the emails to send them out. All done inside Claude using our platform. The future of fundraising is happening now. And we’re bringing it to you.

Munich! Thank you all for coming – it’s been a blast. Last year, we launched our event series in the Bavarian capital, and yesterday we kicked off the second season. Serial founder turned angel Xaver Lehmann and VC investor Andreas de Greiff shared their fundraising do’s and don’ts, while we showcased not only the future of co-investing, but also something we worked on during last week’s offsite: agentic fundraising. Special thanks to our partners at BRLO for supplying the beer, and to CMS for joining us and explaining the legal framework behind our virtual shares.

Ever wondered what it's like to raise with Tokenize.​it? We interviewed Rene Fassbender, who recently hit the milestone of €1 million raised with his company OmegaLambdaTec GmbH. We covered: ▶︎ What is First Principles AI, the main innovation from OLT? ▶︎ Why did René decide to use Tokenize.​it? ▶︎ How did OLT successfully raise with virtual shares? ▶︎ The tactic behind René's investor approach. Below you can find the trailer – the full video is on our YouTube channel: lnkd.in/dS7pv88V

Kick-off in the Austrian Alps! Every year, we come to Dorfgastein for a one-week team retreat. This year, it's all about – guess what – leveraging AI even more. Every department of the company is actively looking into Claude, while at the same time we are pushing towards the next planned feature: Syndicates. In a few weeks, you will be able to share dealflow and co-invest alongside experienced angels. And by the way, you can already pre-register for it! share-eu1.hsforms.com/2PdR5Z…

Syndicates! This is the next big thing we're working on. Syndicates revolve around a Syndicate Lead who informs their community of co-investors about startup investments, offering them the chance to invest alongside them. These syndicates can be open to anyone or operate as private investment clubs. In return, the syndicate lead receives a carry fee upon successful exits. For investors or aspiring angels, this significantly lowers the bar: they get access to quality deal flow without having to run due diligence on every startup themselves. And let's be honest – the best deals usually aren't easily accessible. If you're interested, either as a syndicate lead or as a potential investor, pre-register now! share-eu1.hsforms.com/2PdR5Z…

On Tuesday we attended the fundraising event hosted by our partner Gruendungswerft in the northern city of Stralsund! It was great not to be on the fundraising panel this time, but instead to see how Gründungswerft is building a strong startup ecosystem in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Some people say nothing is happening in the startup scene north of Berlin – this event proved them wrong. Investors? Yes. Successful startups that have raised multiple millions of euros? Several. The best part: we already have a startup from their ecosystem fundraising with us! EINO World GmbH is developing an operating platform for knowledge transfer within companies. If you're interested in startups, check out their upcoming events – it’s definitely worth the trip.

We now support Cap & Discounts – in a way that is better than a convertible! Startups can now structure investments with a valuation cap directly on our platform. This is especially useful for very early-stage startups that do not yet want to commit to a fixed valuation but still want to offer investors a fair entry. Investors receive their virtual shares directly based on the agreed cap. The cap acts as a valuation ceiling – meaning the investment is calculated as if the company were valued at that maximum level. The setup is integrated into the Private Offer flow. When creating an offer, you can simply upload an accompanying letter that defines the individual terms such as cap and, if applicable, a discount. We also provide a suitable template to make this easy. If a discount has been agreed, a future financing round can determine whether the investor should receive additional virtual shares. This can be handled cleanly through another Private Offer using the toggle “payment already made”. This combines the flexibility of early convertible structures with a direct and structured investment process – fully digital and without notary appointments.

We are STARTUP OF THE YEAR of the Global Startup Awards Western Europe Regional competition! Thank you to everyone who voted for us. Next up: Malta and the EU-Startup Summit, where all the regional winners come together and compete for the global title!

It’s raising season! With the new season of Drive to Survive coming up, and since racing and raising actually have quite a few similarities, we thought we’d create a small trailer of our own. We hope you enjoy it!

Are you looking to fundraise from angels? Then this Startup Insider webinar is a must! Next week, we bring serial founder and angel Xaver Lehmann and our CEO Christoph Jentzsch together and discuss fundraising best practices. When? February 24th, 11 am! Sign up here: luma.com/startupinsider-toke…

We’ve just published our second deep tech special! Saarbrücken, nickel-titanium alloys that generate vacuum, strain sensors made of silicone. Sounds boring?
