Pro FIT – Frühphasenfinanzierung
About This Grant
Pro FIT is a funding program by the Investitionsbank Berlin (IBB) designed to support newly founded, technology-oriented startups in Berlin. The program helps young companies build their initial operational infrastructure, hire key personnel, and cover early operating expenses before the main R&D or innovation project begins. It offers a mix of grants and low-interest loans, with funding of up to €500,000, making it particularly attractive for startups with limited capital. The program has no collateral requirements and can cover up to 100% of eligible costs. Funding decisions are made monthly after expert technical and commercial evaluations.
