BOOK A TIGER receives fresh capital and further expands B2B business
DN Capital, Target Global, Atami Capital and Davidson Technology Growth are putting up EUR 8 million plus options in the current financing round for BOOK A TIGER.
• Focus on technology and B2B business pays off – BOOK A TIGER is using capital for further expansion of its facility management platform.
Berlin, 15.11.2017 – BOOK A TIGER, Germany’s first digital facility services company for small and mid-sized companies as well as private households, has secured fresh capital amounting to EUR 8 million plus options for additional funding in a Series B financing round. This new investment is earmarked for further expansion of the facility management platform.
The BOOK A TIGER vision of digitalizing the traditional cleaning market and building up its facility tech platform, along with the performance of the company, have proved compelling to both new and existing investors alike. The present financing round sees new investors Atami Capital and Davidson Technology Growth joining current investors like DN Capital and Target Global.
BOOK A TIGER is using this capital for the further expansion of its facility management platform, with an even stronger focus on B2B business, which experienced enormous growth over the last year. The platform is intended to offer B2B customers access to both high-quality cleaning and a wide range of other relevant services, such as sanitary and kitchen supplies, office food provisions and catering, as well as manual labour.
“In Europe alone, B2B cleaning is a EUR 65 billion market and presently there isn’t a competitor out there with our tech know-how,” says Nikita Fahrenholz, CEO and co-founder of BOOK A TIGER. “We have been focusing on further developing our technology and expanding the B2B business, and it is clearly paying off. The current business development is very positive. With this new investment, we want to promote our growth in the B2B field and concentrate on the further expansion of our facility management platform.”
“We believe the technology that BOOK A TIGER brings to the cleaning space is very disruptive, creating significant efficiencies to this very large fragmented market. We now start to see the same fantastic progress and efficiencies at BOOK A TIGER, that this team delivered at Delivery Hero, which they co-founded.” Nenad Marovac, Managing Partner DN Capital.
The long-term goal is to completely digitalize the cleaning market and to establish BOOK A TIGER as the global leader in facility management solutions for small and mid-sized enterprises. The company is on a steady growth trajectory and is planning to enter more international markets.
