German Startups Group sells its remaining stake in CRX Markets, too
Berlin, 01 November 2017 – German Startups Group, a leading venture capital provider in Germany and Berlin-based digital agency with 140 employees, now sells its remaining stake in CRX Markets, too, on the occasion of an attractive offer. The company had already sold a first part in April 2017 but then decided to first still hold onto the other half. With the sale, the company realizes proceeds of nearly 400k EUR and an internal rate of return (IRR) of around 47% p. a. Furthermore, a debtor warrant was able to be negotiated which enables German Startup Group to participate with 10% in the future capital gains of the purchaser. In the eyes of the company, the value of the debtor warrant exceeds the slight difference between the current book value per share which has been determined based on the last third-party objectivised transaction as usual for German Startups Group and the sale price.

Its focus is on companies whose products or business models represent a disruptive innovation, allow for a high degree of scalability to be expected, and in which it has a great deal of trust in the entrepreneurial abilities of the founders to whom it feels that it obtains early access to due to its close relationships to relevant players in the startup scene.
