Beringea leads €10m series-B for MYCS
London-based growth equity investor Beringea has led a €10m series-B funding round for Berlin-based online furniture retailer MYCS.
Family office Zimmerman Investments also took part in the round, along with other existing investors.
The transaction is Beringea's first investment in Germany and its second in the DACH region, following a €5m round for Vienna-based Smartassistant in September 2017.
The deal follows the IPO of Home24, another Berlin-based online furniture retailer with VC backing, which listed with a market cap of €600m last week.

Global Founders led a €10m series-A funding round for MYCS in March 2017. US-based software development firm TriPos and business angels Uwe Horstmann and Florian Heinemann also took part.
