Which startups have the best prospects of successfully completing a financing round soon? We take a look into the crystal ball and introduce you to five companies that are ripe for investment.
When assessing which startup is ready for investment, we base our assessment on the “Dealroom Signal” of the Munich Startup Insights. This evaluates companies based on four categories: "Timing" indicates how much time has passed since the last funding round; "Growth Rate" refers to the startup's growth rate; "Founding Team" considers the founders and the successes they have already achieved; and finally, "Completeness" refers to the startup's data within the insights. Startups can achieve a maximum score of 100 in all four categories, as well as in the overall ranking. (Photo: Rawpixel / Freepik)
