How to approach funds like HZG Group
When approaching HZG Group, founders should highlight how their technology or business model advances the additive manufacturing ecosystem, especially if it addresses critical bottlenecks or unlocks new applications. Demonstrating a clear path to industrial adoption and scalability, as well as a strong technical team with deep sector expertise, will resonate. Articulate how your solution complements or leverages existing industry infrastructure, and be prepared to discuss both technical differentiation and commercial traction within the DACH region or broader European market.
