In 2005, Y Combinator developed a new model of startup funding. Twice a year we invest a small amount of money (average $18k) in a large number of startups (most recently 65). The startups move to Silicon Valley for 3 months, during which we work intensively with them to get the company into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present to a large audience of investors. But YC doesn't end on Demo Day. We and the YC alumni network continue to help founders for the life of their company, and beyond.
The European Founders Fund, established by Alexander, Marc and Oliver Samwer, helps funding start-ups and later stage internet businesses. European Founders Fund is one of the leading venture capital funds focused on early stage finance in Germany.
