A fortnight ago, we had a great success in the further development of our start-up: our third major financing round was successfully concluded! The existing shareholders, who were already involved in the first two financing rounds, are supporting us again. We are very happy that they still believe in the potential of our AnyHand and see it as an asset for the future of hand therapy. So they are not only involved in the project as financiers, but also ideally and we are working on a common vision.
As in 2017, the Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB) , which regularly invests in innovative start-ups in the state, is supporting us with venture capital. Rudolf Menningen and Thorsten Schmitt, who had already participated in previous financing rounds, are now also invested again. Since our company was founded in October 2016, we have already been able to acquire a seven-figure sum. This is currently being used to complete product development so that our AnyHand can be launched in the DACH region in the near future.
The new investments are the second major milestone this year after the certification of our QM system in May. Shortly after the second Advent, we can already take a look back at the year, with which we can be extremely satisfied. We are already looking forward to the challenges that await us in the future!
