Tradition Meets Future was founded in 2020 in Berlin, the city where Siemens and Deutsche Bank have their roots. The German Mittelstand, i.e. small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), forms the backbone of the German economy and owes its success to high-quality products or services in their niche that enable them to compete. Debt financing played a crucial role in enabling these companies to adapt quickly, introduce new technologies, remain competitive and stay family-owned. Entrepreneurship requires entrepreneurial risk capital, that can also be in the form of non-dilutive growth debt. For this reason, Tradition Meets Future works with the world’s most entrepreneurial debt providers.
