Germany-based Koppla, a company that offers an intuitive and collaborative scheduler for construction sites, raised €6M in a funding round.
Newion led a financing round for Koppla, joined by Brandenburg Kapital and business angels Martin Rodeck, Thorsten Krauß, Ingo Holz, and Andreas Beckmann. The investors bring sector knowledge in construction and real estate.
In a statement translated from German, Leopold Lindner of Newion, says, “We invested in Koppla because the solution addresses key customer problems. The construction industry is under enormous pressure to modernise and is ripe for change – Koppla has a deep understanding of the industry and helps companies with an intuitive, collaborative solution tailored precisely to their needs.”
Existing investors Earlybird, Coparion, and ecosystem investor HPI Ventures also invested in this round.
Angel investor, Martin Rodeck, mentions, “Conventional scheduling tools cannot be used in real time and encourage silo thinking. (Project) management makes costly decisions based on outdated and therefore inaccurate scheduling information, for example, regarding the naming or postponement of handover or opening dates.”
“Koppla eliminates this problem and offers a schedule that is easy to use, adapts in real time to the conditions on the construction site, and connects all participating companies – a real added value for every project and for the entire construction industry. I am delighted to support the motivated Koppla team on their journey.”
Capital utilisation
Koppla will use the proceeds to develop its construction scheduling and control platform, which is currently used by more than 100 customers across 600 projects.
The funds will also help the company to hire staff in customer success, sales, product, and technology and extend the platform to more companies in the construction sector.
Marco Trippler, MD and co-founder of Koppla, says, “This funding brings us closer to our vision of developing a simple and holistic scheduling solution for the construction industry.”
Co-founder Lasse Steffen, adds, “We are seeing strong demand for solutions that simplify scheduling and management of construction projects and replace legacy tools. With the new funding, we can further expand our team and advance the product.”
A scheduling tool for construction sites
Koppla runs a scheduling platform that links field crews with office staff so activity can shift when plans change. The system updates tasks, clears idle time, and keeps work moving if trades drop out or a client alters room use.
The venture started in 2020 when three school friends—Jerome, Marco Trippler, and Lasse Steffen—saw that building sites lacked the data tools used in other sectors. They set out to bring standard, low-cost, and resource-minded methods to construction. Today, over 20 team members maintain the platform.
Builders steer over €3B in total project volume through Koppla. 18 of the top 100 construction firms in the DACH region run projects on the system. Koppla counts several German enterprise software investors among its backers.
