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!
