BayBG backs Miflora
BayBG Bayerischen Beteiligungsgesellschaft has invested more than €3m in Miflora’s series-B funding round.

Munich-based Extorel manages the assets of the Strascheg family. It invests in innovative technology companies with high growth potential.
Previous funding
Atlantic Capital Partners, Heilemann Ventures and HR Alpha Ventures invested more than €1m in the flower delivery business in December last year. Atlantic had co-led a seed financing round for the Munich-based company in August 2013.
