Company
C4 Group was founded in 2001 by top investment bankers and industry executives. C4’s goal is to provide growth companies in Austria and southern Germany the access to growth capital, accompanied by a high level of entrepreneurial understanding. More than 20 IPOs, capital increases, and convertible loan issues on the Vienna and Frankfurt stock exchanges represent the personal track record of the C4 Capital Markets team on listed markets (one of four C4 divisions).
With more than five decades of personal capital market expertise, C4 Capital Markets sees itself as the leading address for involving major international investors in growth companies from Austria, but also as an innovator and driving force behind new capital market products. In the start-up segment, too, C4 is helping to shape a new segment of growth financing with the four largest crowd investing campaigns for Austrian start-up companies. C4 has also implemented several major growth financing projects for medium-sized clients, such as the Biogena Group.
As entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, we are a competent, trustworthy, and independent partner for all equity financing and capital market activities.
