bmp media invests in Muchasa
bmp media investors has acquired a 13.5% stake in e-commerce company Muchasa.
Berlin-based Muchasa – which stands for multi-channel sales – operates three websites retailing mattresses, bedding and other sleep-related products.
Since its launch last year, Muchasa has developed its own multi-channel software used on its flagship website perfekt-schlafen.de, among others. It works with manufacturers including Tempur, Esprit and Dunlopillo.
The venture capital firm stated its interest in the company arose because it operates in a market that is currently not yet well established online.
The deal marks bmp's first deal in six months, after injecting €1.5m into Berlin-based Changers in January this year. The investment in the company, which manufactures solar-powered mobile phone chargers, was conducted via its Frühphasenfonds Brandenburg fund.
Company
Headquartered in Berlin, Muchasa was founded last year and acquired a rival at the start of 2014. It has 100,000 customers and has generated €2m in sales.

Mark Beyer is managing director of Muchasa. Oliver Borrmann is CEO of bmp.
