CVC Report Trend 6: Reputation als Schlüssel für CVC-Einheiten
Das Naturgesetz „survival of the fittest“ findet auch in der Start-up Welt Anklang: Jeder ROI-getriebene Investor möchte in die„fittesten“ Start-ups investieren. Das heißt er möchte sich vor allem an Start-ups mit Einhorn-Potenzial beteiligen, die die größten Erfolgsaussichten versprechen. Bei einer großen Anzahl an potenziellen Investoren führt dies dazu, dass sich die„Crème de la crème“ der Start-ups ihre Investoren aussuchen kann.

Was lächerlich klingt, ist teilweise Realität.
