High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and Bayern Kapital have backed German software company MicroDimensions with a seven-digit-euro series-A.
A group of business angels also backed the round.
The company will use the funding to expand its product portfolio. It claims the digital pathology market, which it operates in, will reach a market volume of $5.2bn by 2020.
HTGF and Bayern Kapital are regularly investing in startups together. In May, for instance, the two investors backed a €1.75m seed round for German composites production developer Cevotec.
