At bm|t we have pre­vi­ously writ­ten about the power of bold­ness as an intan­gi­ble, but vital asset in Founders and their Start-ups. In our Feb­ru­ary 2024 newslet­ter, we high­lighted how VC investors appre­ci­ate bold­ness, an ambi­tious mind-set and how it plays a cen­tral role in the jour­ney from idea to impact.

In April of 2025, this mes­sage con­tin­ues to be of sig­nif­i­cant import as we as indi­vid­u­als, and busi­nesses as organ­i­sa­tions of col­lec­tives, nav­i­gate through increased lev­els of change, volatil­ity and uncer­tainty. Change is ever-present, eco­nom­i­cally, geopo­lit­i­cally and even inter­nally here. Luck­ily at bm|t we rec­og­nize that change is also an oppor­tu­nity. Thus as we start a new chap­ter, the power of bold­ness remains a key dri­ver in how we build and move forward.

Through times of change, it can be tempt­ing for start-ups, busi­nesses and peo­ple to seek com­fort in sta­bil­ity. And yet many of the most pos­i­tively trans­for­ma­tive devel­op­ments, tech­no­log­i­cally, eco­nom­i­cally and soci­etally, have been pow­ered by inno­v­a­tive and bold founders who have dared to dream. At bm|t, we con­tinue to believe that in times of change, bold­ness is not just wel­come – but an essen­tial intan­gi­ble asset.

That is because to inno­vate is to be bold and to inno­vate is to change. As the Irish Drama­tist George Bernard Shaw once stated: “progress is impos­si­ble with­out change”. Here at bm|t we are hon­oured to work with founders, their teams and sup­port­ers in Thürin­gen, and across Ger­many and Europe, who are dri­ving inno­va­tion, push­ing progress for­ward and build­ing on the shoul­ders of giants to cre­ate last­ing value for the future.

Together with our trusted part­ners and sup­ports, bm|t remains com­mit­ted to strength­en­ing Thüringen’s econ­omy through invest­ing in inno­v­a­tive growth-ori­ented com­pa­nies. And we are delighted to be able to start the year off strongly with pos­i­tive updates from Q1 2025!
