HTGF backs virtualQ

HTGF usually invests €500,000 at the seed stage. The fresh capital will be used for product development, additional hires and to finance internationalisation.

The company was granted €6,000 at this year's IFA, a consumer electronics fair, by the German ministry for economic affairs.

Company
Founded in 2014 and based in Berlin and Stuttgart, virtualQ is a waiting service for call centres that allows customers to wait in line via an app on their smart phone or using the web, rather than staying on the phone. A push notification or text message is sent to inform the caller when it is their turn.
