The Bundesverband Deutsche Startups (German Startups Association) is a membership corporation (“Eingetragener Verein”) based in Berlin and an association of the German startup industry. It was founded in 2012 to represent and function as a voice of startups vis-à-vis politics, civil society and the established economy. The association is committed to a founder-friendly Germany, promotes innovative entrepreneurship and wants to carry the startup mentality into society. As a network, the Federal Association of German Startups connects founders, startups and their networks.
