Hi <<First Name>>,
Guess which product or service out there is boasting the highest NPS? The iPhone? Basically all Apple products? The Ostrich Pillow®? Nope, it’s the third edition of our very own SaaS Founder Meetup! Following the event in San Francisco last week, we sent out a Typeform to all attendees, asking them the famous “How likely are you to recommend…” question. The result was – (drum roll) – a score of a whopping 93. And you know what? We didn’t even have to do that much – it’s been the amazing speakers and attendees that made the event so spectacular. Here are some impressions from the event:
NEW INVESTMENTS
A few months ago Pawel wrote about the AdTech cluster, which has emerged in Berlin in the last few years. Well, we are very happy that we’ve led a $1M investment into the newest kid on the block, the mobile retargeting solution remerge. Having previously built mobile ad platform madvertise, the founders have deep insights into the market and we are excited to support them in pioneering mobile re-engagement! Learn more on CEO Pan Katsukis’ blog and don’t be shy if you are interested in using the product.
How many PhDs does it take to answer an email sent to info@? Too many, sometimes. Fear no more, Front is here to turn emailing into a collaborative experience. And we are happy to support that vision by joining a $3M+ round that also includes Paul Buchheit, the creator of Gmail (talk about domain expertise!). Sign up here if you want to join customers like MailChimp and KissMetrics that are already experiencing the next evolution of the team inbox (we know you do).
PORTFOLIO NEWS
- We are thrilled to announce that General Catalyst has led a $9M Series A into Brainly. With over 30M monthly unique users, Brainly is already one of the largest educational resources on the Web. Watch out Wikipedia! ;)
- 15Five, singled out as one of the top products for entrepreneurs by Reddit founder Alex Ohanian, has not only improved our own team communication since our original investment into the company last year. It has also improved the lives of thousands of other people, and so we were happy to double-down on our investment by leading a $2.2M new round into the company. We were joined by our friends over at Matrix Partners - great to have you on board!
- After reaching 10,000 customers, Vend decided to do something special for their users. So they launched Vend Register, a shiny new iPad app. It looks beautiful, give it a try!
- Woof woof, woof! Woof.

- Combat Gents has pushed out one new product release after another in the last few months (and it’s getting even more affordable, too!). Highsnobiety has a review of some of the recent releases, that you can check out here. Stay tuned for the Xmas releases!
- Want some eye candy? Westwing got you with their latest, gorgeous TV spot. Want more? Get Das große Buch der Wohnstile – the beautiful book recently published by Westwing founder Delia Fischer (in German).
- Aaand there is one more thing! Our portfolio company Fyber (formerly SponsorPay) was acquired for $190M by RNTS Media. A great win for everybody involved (and the Berlin AdTech ecosystem!). Congrats, and all the best for the next phase of the company!
