Through Burda Digital Ventures, Hubert Burda Media has been establishing a comprehensive investment portfolio in the business sector Internet & Mobile for nearly ten years, thus making the online sector one of its main areas of growth. Burda Digital Ventures identifies new ideas which are realized by extraordinary teams. At present, the portfolio comprises 30 participations – and counting!

Wanted: Young entrepreneurs! Burda Digital Ventures is expanding its portfolio. So good business ideas are always in demand. The social web is one of the most important trends on the internet. While the first wave of successful internet business models was strongly based on a sender-receiver approach, we have seen a strong focus on social networks in the past two years.

This type of web presence offers users the possibility to get together on platforms where they exchange opinions, communicate and interact. This can be a new form of media – but possibly also a new form of e-commerce. Burda Digital Ventures (www.burdadigital.de) does not focus that strongly on technology, but rather on its application.
