Amsterdam-based SaaS-enabled marketplace for companies to get short-term jobs done quickly, blackbear, announced that it has raised funding from VC firm No Such Ventures. The company didn’t disclose the funding value.
The Dutch company says it will use the investment to grow its team, improve the online platform, and expand internationally.
Stefan Hoogenboom, co-founder of blackbear, says, “Expectations for the next few years are high. This capital injection allows us to accelerate commercially, technologically, and internationally. We managed to build a business of around 45 FTE with a very satisfied and ever-growing customer and solver base on limited financial means. Now, having No Such Ventures on board as our first formal investor, we’re ready to grow even faster!”
