MikroCrowd Bremen
The best of both worlds: MikroCrowd Bremen. Convince us and the crowd of your idea and obtain the seed capital for your start-up from a combination of crowd funding and micro credit.
MikroCrowd Bremen is a funding programme for start-up projects and young companies in the state of Bremen and offers the right seed capital for your journey into self-employment. MikroCrowd Bremen combines the Starthaus Mikrokredit – classic funding with a low-interest loan – with funding through Starthaus Crowdfunding. Founders submit their application to Starthaus Bremen before the corresponding project begins. The start-up helpers at Starthaus Bremen and Bremerhaven check the business plan in terms of potential success and provide advice about the crowd funding campaign. The founders work together with the experienced advisers to stipulate the funding objective and the credit amount. The micro credit is linked to achieving the defined funding objective.
