NCapital is a recurring matching event series initiated by the NBank in 2006 with the goal of supporting start-ups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in securing additional funding through equity capital. The program connects capital-seeking companies with potential investors in a structured event format designed to foster financing and growth.
Over approximately 20 events since its inception, more than 140 companies have participated in the NCapital initiative. This funding opportunity complements existing advisory and financial support tools offered by the NBank by specifically targeting businesses interested in equity-based investment models.
Participating companies have the opportunity to present their business models to investors during these organized events. The initiative facilitates early-stage networking and direct dialogue between entrepreneurs and investors, potentially leading to financial support, strategic partnerships, or business development opportunities. Furthermore, NBank provides guidance for applicants in the preparation phase, including support in refining pitches and business communication.
Eligible applicants include start-ups and SMEs with a business location or operational base in the federal state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Germany. The companies must express interest in using equity capital as a means to support their investment and expansion strategies and must be willing to openly present their business plans to potential investors.
Investors, in turn, gain exclusive access to a pipeline of innovative companies with high growth potential. The event supports both sides in identifying mutual investment opportunities and establishing valuable business relationships.
NCapital does not offer direct financial funding but provides a high-impact platform to enable funding through third-party capital providers.
