Welcome to the fondeon website and thank you for your interest in my services.
My name is Almuth Siegl and I am the founder of fondeon:

>> Our strengths:

Globalisation is putting increasing pressure on researchers and developers to boost their efficiency. Projects are becoming more complex and have to be implemented in shorter and shorter time spans.
My structured market observations and years of experience in the technology sector let me effectively broker partnerships between research institutions and companies.

A private investment should be reviewed and it should be profitable. My strength is finding projects that my investors like and that suit them. This goes far beyond the mere analysis of numbers and facts, because my customers also identify with the projects they finance on an emotional level.

Securing financial backing is one of the biggest challenges faced when developing a start-up. The idea phase in particular is where many start-ups struggle to find an investor. However, having proof of concept will suddenly open significantly more doors when it comes to potential investors.
Fondeon supports companies right from the beginning of their journey. 



>> Our newest project:





ACTIV is THE overarching initiative for Germany in the digital age.
For innovations, particularly in the field of climate and environmental protection.

The concrete implementation of operable and relevant solutions in practice is at the core of ACTIV.

ACTIV initiates measures, projects and campaigns to spread awareness about the environment and climate protection, support the transfer of knowledge and promote innovative technologies.

>> These are our first projects that we are starting with:
