Digital+ Partners leads $35.5m series-C for NavVis
German VC firm Digital+ Partners has led a $35.5m series-C funding round for Munich-based 3D mapping technology business NavVis.
Japanese corporate Kozo Keikaku Engineering also took part in the financing alongside existing investors MIG, Target Partners and BayBG.
Digital+ held a final close on €350m for its debut fund in July 2018, by which time the vehicle was 17% deployed.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate the growth of its corporate client base, specifically with companies that use so-called digital twin technology to monitor real assets using a virtual proxy.
Previous funding
BayBG and MIG invested in NavVis's series-A funding round in 2014 at an undisclosed valuation, and both reinvested alongside Target Partners in the company's €7.5m series-B in 2015.
