Software-for-equity is an alternative investment model which is attractive to young founders who have no technological expertise, yet need it in order to build their product. Knowing how difficult it is to get financial investment before there is a viable product, young entrepreneurs have to get some investments in order to build a product. So, why not offer entrepreneurs a service according to which they get a competent and experienced partner who would take care of the product implementation and, additionally, act as a technical co-founder? In return, this technical co-founder would get company shares – this way the entrepreneur gets some assurance that his co-founder is interested in making the company a success on the long term. But if it sounds so good, why has not such a service been established in Germany so far?
