Orrick Düsseldorf

English: Orrick and creditshelf Host Third Business Breakfast on Alternative Financing Measures for Medium Sized Companies

Alternative Arten der Finanzierung wie unter anderem Crowdfunding, (Online) Direct Lending, Factoring und Finetrading gewinnen zunehmend an Bedeutung, wodurch sich auch Finanzierungsprojekte mittlerer Unternehmen in Deutschland immer weiter verändern. In Zukunft werden klassische Banken und Sparkassen nicht mehr die alleinige Verantwortung für Finanzierungen deutscher KMUs tragen. Gerade deswegen gewinnen neue Anbieter wie z.B. innovative FinTechs an Markteinfluss und werden damit zu einem nützlichen Gegenstück zu klassischen Banken.

Wie verändert sich die Hausbank in Zeiten der Digitalisierung? Was steckt hinter dem Begriff „Mittelstandsfinanzierung 4.0“?

Bei unserer Veranstaltung werden wir Ihnen die Möglichkeit bieten diese Fragen zu diskutieren und mit Vertretern verschiedenster Finanzierungsbereiche in Kontakt zu treten.

Programm:

  • Einleitende Bemerkungen (von Dr. Sven Greulich, Partner bei Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP)
  • Mittelstandskredite in Zeiten von Zinswende und Digitalisierung (von Dr. Daniel Bartsch, Co-Gründer & Geschäftsführer, creditshelf GmbH)
  • Bis zu 100 TEUR in 24 Stunden - alternative Finanzierung ohne Hindernisse (von Oliver Schmid, Geschäftsführer, iwoca Deutschland GmbH)
  • Liquidität auf Knopfdruck: Die digitale Zukunft des Factorings (von Dr. Christian Grobe, Co-Gründer & Geschäftsführer, Billie GmbH)

Im Anschluss wird es ein Q&A Panel und die Möglichkeit zum Networking geben.

Die Veranstaltung findet in deutscher Sprache statt.

Bei weiteren Fragen treten Sie bitte mit Sven Greulich in Kontakt.

Sven’s goal is to build bridges for his clients between Germany, Silicon Valley, and other international technology hubs, helping them achieve successful growth in the global market. His legal and business background, entrepreneurial spirit, and experience from more than 400 financing rounds and M&A projects across various industries enable him to fully understand his clients’ strategic and commercial objectives and to develop creative solutions to achieve them.

Organized in collaboration with Germany’s leading startup universities, the Founder Legal Boot Camp now takes place three times a year in Düsseldorf, Munich, and alternately in Karlsruhe/Stuttgart.
