GlassDollar and Start2 Group enter into strategic partnership

The software provider GlassDollar and the internationally active Start2 Group are joining forces to make venture clienting scalable worldwide. The aim of the strategic partnership is to provide companies with structured access to startup innovations and to roll out corresponding programs internationally more quickly.

The collaboration combines two complementary service areas: While GlassDollar continues to develop its technology platform and is responsible for the data-based identification of relevant startup solutions, Start2 Group takes on consulting, operational implementation and project management on the customer side.

Three key added values for companies

Customers will benefit from three elements in particular:

• Data-driven startup search: systematic identification of suitable technologies and solutions.
• Professional project implementation: Support from proof of concepts (PoCs) to integration.
• International scaling: uniform rollout of innovation programs across several markets.

The demand for venture clienting is growing continuously worldwide

Fabian Dudek, CEO of GlassDollar

Since 2019, the company has developed into a provider in this area. By scaling proven methods via Start2, service capacities can be expanded and at the same time the platform can be specifically expanded in the direction of "innovation procurement".

Global infrastructure meets digital platform

The partnership also strengthens Start2 Group's Venture Clienting offering. With more than 500 innovation projects for DAX companies, SMEs and hidden champions as well as a presence on five continents and in 18 markets, the company brings a wealth of implementation experience to the table.

With our accelerator, scale-up and corporate innovation programs, we support companies along the entire innovation journey

Matthias Notz, Global CEO of the Start2 Group

A network of over 1,300 mentors and experts as well as around 140 employees enable holistic support worldwide.

Clear allocation of roles for end-to-end processes

For customers, the cooperation is primarily intended to create continuity: Start2 Group is responsible for operational implementation and project management, while GlassDollar provides the digital infrastructure for identifying, evaluating and implementing innovative solutions. The result is an integrated combination of data analysis and implementation expertise.
