eVenture backs Vicampo in series-A round
eVenture Capital Partners has backed online wine-ordering platform Vicampo in a series-A financing round.
The deal was financed via the VC's eVenture Fund I vehicle.
eVenture has held Vicampo in its portfolio since 2011, when the venture firm backed Vicampo's seed financing round.
The VC typically invests $100,000-10m in early-stage deals in companies operating in the internet and technology sector.
eVenture was formerly known as BV Capital, when it rebranded and combined its five funds in July last year.
Company
Vicampo was founded in 2010 in Mainz. The business offers a range of wines on its internet platform, allowing customers to chose from a variety of wine-growers.
Vicampo used to operate together with fellow start-up Wine in Black, also an online wine ordering platform. In early 2012, Wine in Black split from Vicampo when incubator Project A Ventures took over the firm.
People
Andreas Haug is general partner at eVenture. Daniel Nitz, Max Gärtner and Felix Gärtner are Vicampo's managing partners.
