Gründerfonds Münsterland completes first investment

The equity is drawn from Gründerfonds Münsterland. The funds will be used for the market entry of the company's first product, the mattress Geneva NG, which was introduced at the imm cologne fair in January. The company approached the investor after press coverage.

The company does not anticipate requiring further funding during 2010, as it is now beginning to generate turnover.
