The interim presentation serves to analyze specific challenges and to specify the support provided by the start-up network in the areas of administrative and content-related implementation of the project.

In any case, there are strong signals in politics, business, universities\/research institutions and the start-up community to actively shape the topic of entrepreneurial spin-offs from science. For these reasons, it is important for us to continue to keep an eye on and document the development of the previously funded teams. To this end, all teams are surveyed once a year for up to five years after the end of the project using a questionnaire on the status of the company's development with the aim of building a viral exist alumni community in the medium term.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk--single-open stk-block stk-38b96c3 is-style-default\" data-block-id=\"38b96c3\">\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-da0e9be stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"da0e9be\"><style>.stk-da0e9be-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-da0e9be-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-da0e9be-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-390e4f1\" data-block-id=\"390e4f1\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-587c340\" id=\"welche-finanzierung-im-anschluss-an-exist-grundungsstipendium\" data-block-id=\"587c340\"><h4 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">What funding is available following an exist start-up grant?<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-6c1ee52\" data-block-id=\"6c1ee52\"><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-6c1ee52\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-6-c-1-ee-52-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-6-c-1-ee-52-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-0e6b161 stk-block-accordion__content\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"0e6b161\"><style>.stk-0e6b161-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-0e6b161-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-0e6b161-inner-blocks\">\n<p>Innovative and fast-growing start-ups require follow-up financing following an exist start-up grant. This can be an investment from a business angel, a publicly supported investment fund, a venture capital fund or even a family office. Finding a suitable investor takes time. You should therefore address the issue of financing at an early stage during the exist phase in order to avoid a financing gap after EXIST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to the start-up network at your university or research institution about this. Your contact person can tell you about suitable programs. In addition, the start-up networks usually organize pitch events where you can make contact with investors.
