Berliner E-Sports-Start-up holt sich 4,5 Millionen US-Dollar Neues Crowdfunding-Gesetz in den USA: Wie Kleinanleger in Startups investieren können Bürgerliche Parteien verlangen eine Verbesserung der Startup-Steuer im Kanton Zürich Der Kanton Zürich positioniert sich als innovativ und Startup-freundlich. Gleichzeitig sehen sich zahlreiche Startup-Gründer mit einer hohen Vermögenssteuerrechnung konfrontiert, obwohl sich ihr Unternehmen noch immer in der Aufbauphase befindet und sie keine nachhaltigen Gewinne schreiben. Grund dafür ist das Zürcher Steueramt, welches die Aktien der Startups nach Preisen der letzten Finanzierungsrunde bewertet. Die Folge: Gründer werden auf die Aktien teilweise so hoch besteuert, dass sie die Steuerrechnung gar nicht bezahlen können. Dieses Vorgehen schreckt auch Business Angels ab, im Kanton Zürich in Startups zu investieren. Nun verlangen die bürgerlichen Parteien eine Verbesserung der Bewertung für neu gegründete Unternehmen im Kanton Zürich. read more Caribou Biosciences secures Series B financing from Anterra Capital and Heritage Group among others On 16/05/16 it was announced that Caribou Biosciences Inc., a Berkeley, California-based genome biotechnological editing services provider has raised USD 30 million in 2nd round (Series B) financing.

  • Investment Committee Memorandum CVC Capital Partners VIII Private
    Investment Committee Memorandum CVC Capital Partners VIII Private Equity Asset Class April 21, 2020 Page 1 PA SERS Private Equity Investment Recommendation Investment Recommendation SERS’ Investment Office Staff and SERS’ Private Equity Consultant, StepStone Group, recommend that the State Employees’ Retirement System Investment Committee, subject to further legal due diligence, interview CVC Capital Partners (“CVC”, the “GP” or the “Firm”) at the April 21, 2020 Investment Committee Meeting to consider a potential investment of up to €50 million (approx. $54 million) in CVC Capital Partners VIII (“CVC VIII”, or the “Fund”). Investment Rationale Staff identified CVC VIII as a strong candidate for SERS’ capital commitment as it offers: Additional exposure to a high-quality private investment manager that has generated strong net returns since inception; Additional exposure to a private investment manager that outperforms private peers and public indices; Capital preservation as evidenced by a below market loss ratio as of 12/31/19; A strategy led by a senior team that has been at the firm for an average of 15 years and invested successfully across economic cycles; Increased exposure to attractive pan-European market; Exposure to a top performing manager well-known to SERS’ Staff; Consistency with SERS’ PE portfolio objectives. Investment Risks Staff identified the following potential risks of a commitment to CVC VIII: CVC has been slowly expanding into regions outside of Europe and North America with mixed results. CVC competes for investments in the highly competitive upper middle market and large market. Portfolio Implications A commitment to CVC VIII would be considered a 2020 vintage allocation to a fund which is categorized in the Private Equity asset class and Buyout sub-asset class.

  • Press Release CVC Fund VII Acquires Controlling Stake in Recordati S.P.A
    Press release 29 June 2018 CVC Fund VII Acquires Controlling Stake in Recordati S.p.A. CVC is pleased to announce that a consortium of funds (the “Consortium”) led by CVC Fund VII has agreed to buy the holding company that owns a majority interest in Recordati. Chairman Alberto Recordati said “Today is an important moment in the further development of the company my grandfather founded over 90 years ago. We have found in CVC a partner who shares our vision, values and passion for the company, its employees and its role in developing and distributing healthcare around the world.” Andrea Recordati, CEO, said “I believe that this is great outcome for the company and its employees who will benefit greatly from having CVC as a partner. In the process of finding the best partner to take Recordati forward, it was important to find a party that would allow Recordati to remain independent, with continuity for management and employees, and accelerate its growth strategy as a leading global consolidator in the pharmaceutical industry. I am very pleased to be working alongside CVC in accelerating Recordati’s global expansion. I am personally reinvesting alongside the Consortium as I believe in and support Recordati.” Giampiero Mazza, Head of CVC Italy, said “We are honoured to be chosen by the Recordati family who have put great trust in us to continue in their role as the majority shareholder of their company. We have a great admiration for the business which we have known for over many years since Giovanni Recordati was CEO. We are excited by the opportunity to support this excellent management team, led by Andrea Recordati who we have asked to remain as CEO and who carries on the company’s legacy and provides the continuity of the business and its strategy alongside Fritz Squindo, Recordati’s Managing Director and CFO.“ Cathrin Petty, Head of EMEA Healthcare at CVC, added “Recordati has always been a very carefully managed, international pharma company with a broad platform of products and a strong geographical footprint in primary care.
