Digital+ backs Seven Senders in €16m funding round
Digital+ Partners has led a €16m round for parcel delivery platform Seven Senders, with participation from existing investor BtoV.
Digital+ is currently investing from its Digital Growth Fund I, which writes equity cheques of €5-25m in initial rounds and €20-30m in further rounds.
BtoV is investing from its BtoV Partners III vehicle, which closed on €75m in 2015.
The fresh capital will be used for international expansion. Following the investment, the company has also decided to focus on growth rather than profitability. It claims to generate revenues of more than €10m.
