SEED Capital regeling 2012
Vanaf 1 januari 2012 start het ministerie van Economische Zaken, Landbouw en Innovatie het Innovatiefonds MKB+. Dit fonds bouwt onder andere voort op bestaande succesvolle financieringsinstrumenten. Eén daarvan is de SEED Capital-regeling. De SEED Capital (voorheen SEED-faciliteit) geeft u als investeerder de kans om te investeren in technostarters en creatieve starters en waarbij u het risico spreidt met Agentschap NL. Investeren in een jong, innovatief bedrijf betekent voor u meer risico. Het bedrijf heeft geen historie en het marktperspectief is onbekend. Deze onzekerheden kunnen u ervan weerhouden te investeren in technostarters en/of creatieve starters. Daarom heeft het ministerie van Economische Zaken, Landbouw en Innovatie de SEED Capital-regeling opgezet. Agentschap NL zorgt voor de uitvoering.
