HTGF, Bayern Kapital et al. back crealytics
High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), Bayern Kapital, LBBW Venture Capital, Mountain Super Angel and new investor BayBG have backed German technology business crealytics with a fresh round of funding.
Germany-based crealytics will use the capital injection – understood to be around €5m – to develop its search engine advertising software camato, with a particular focus on reducing the effort required to optimise search engine advertising (SEA).
The business already received backing from HTGF, Bayern Kapital and Chancenkapital Biberach in early 2010, and from LBBW with Mountain Super Angel in July 2011.
Company
Founded in Passau in 2008, crealytics is a search engine advertising technology company that has seen a shift from service provider to technology vendor following the release of its product camato, a software that facilitates the automation of workflows using Google AdWords. The product's first customers include navabi, edelight, Nayoki Interactive Advertising and DefShop.
The business currently employs 60 people in its offices in Passau and Berlin. Its gross profit increased by 44% between 2011 and 2012 and is set at a target of €1-9m for 2013.
