SPRIND Equity Investments & Convertible Loans
Funds SPRIND Equity Investments and Convertible Loans, federal equity and convertible-loan co-investment for deep-tech startups at Series A, requiring private co-financing.
Enabled by the SPRIND-Freiheitsgesetz (Freedom Act, 2023), SPRIND can take equity stakes or issue convertible loans in for-profit ventures. This is a co-investment model: a 30% private investor must join alongside SPRIND's federal capital ('crowding-in investor'). Targeted at Series A and beyond. SPRIND selects co-investors alongside the innovator. No fixed award amounts disclosed publicly — structured per deal.
