HEUKING joins as a Supporting Member of the German Startup Association
As of November 2024, HEUKING has strengthened its support for the venture capital ecosystem by becoming a supporting member of the German Startup Association (Bundesverband Deutsche Startups e.V.). This membership underlines our commitment to the startup scene.
The Startup Association is for the voice of startups in Germany, representing their interests to government, industry, and the public. Through its network of 1,200 members, the association fosters meaningful exchange between startups, established businesses, and politics. The Startup Association’s mission is to make Germany and Europe a startup-friendly place.
HEUKING’s venture capital lawyers and tax advisors offer comprehensive legal advice across the startup and VC sector. They particularly advise on the implementation of financing rounds, venture debt-, secondary- and exit transactions, the conclusion of convertible loan agreements, and the implementation of employee participation programs. With deep industry insight, HEUKING combines expert legal advice with specific sector expertise. “Through our integrated Practice Groups and daily cross-functional collaboration, we deliver seamless, ‘one-stop’ support throughout the entire lifecycle of a startup, including all relevant areas of business law,” said Ariane Neubauer, Head of Venture Capital at HEUKING. In addition the firm advises clients on IP (including its own patent attorneys), IT, Data Protection, Employment Law, FinTech regulation, DLT, Healthcare & Life Sciences, commercial contracts, Investment Control, Insolvency Law, and Space Law – each supported by a dedicated contact person throughout.
“We look forward to a close exchange with the association with the German Startup Association and to exciting joint projects and events,” Ariane Neubauer added.
For years, HEUKING has been deeply embedded in the venture capital ecosystem and hosts the HEUKING Venture Capital Nights, a platform where founders, investors, and other players in the startup and VC scene can connect and network in a relaxed environment.
