HTGF and BitStone invest in Dotscene

The fresh capital will be used to accelerate development, expand infrastructure and increase the company's presence in the market.

HTGF's investment came from High-Tech Gründerfonds III, a venture fund that held its final close in May 2018 on €316.5m. The fund was intended to make initial investments between €1-3m in German technology startups that have been operating for no longer than three years. The vehicle focuses on hardware-related engineering, life sciences, the chemicals industry, material science, software, media and the internet.

Dotscene is BitStone's 10th portfolio company.
