• New financing led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with substantial participation from existing investors UVC Partners, Capnamic Ventures, and HW Capital
  
• Capmo is already in use on over 10,000 construction projects and scaling rapidly across Europe
  
• Brian Feinstein, partner from Bessemer Venture Partners, is an expert in construction tech who just led US decacorn Procore to IPO
  

Munich, 24 August 2021 – Capmo, developer of the all-in-one construction management software for small and medium-sized businesses in Europe, is closing a $30m Series B financing round. The round is led by the global leading cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) Investor Bessemer Venture Partners, which has previously invested in companies such as LinkedIn, Shopify, Twilio and Procore. Previous investors Capnamic Ventures and UVC Partners also participated in the round.

With the funds from the financing round, Capmo will add further use cases along the entire construction process to its holistic platform. On its way to becoming the central digital platform for the construction and real estate industry, this means for Capmo not only the expansion of the product, but also the expansion of the international team and the development of further European markets. In a highly underdigitized market with enormous growth potential, Capmo aims to grow its team to 200 people by the end of next year and is well on its way to becoming the leading provider for SMEs in Europe.

On the way to category leadership in European Construction Tech

Today, Capmo is already in use on over 10,000 construction projects. The uncomplicated collaboration of all project participants as well as the possibility to control all processes, from initial planning to project completion, centrally in one system, makes it possible to successfully implement even complex construction projects on time and within budget.

Many of the more than one million small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry (European Commission, 2021), currently still rely on paper, analog processes or outdated isolated solutions for sub-processes. Florian Biller, Co-founder and CEO of Capmo, says: „The construction and real estate industry accounts for 10% of our gross domestic product, yet it is the second most under digitized industry in Europe. We want to change that with Capmo. With this investment, we are able to continue our steep growth trajectory and serve as a digital partner to the construction and real estate industry. I am very pleased that we can use this to improve the everyday working lives of so many people in the industry who have not yet been able to benefit from modern software.“

With the support of one of the most experienced global SaaS investors

With Bessemer Venture Partners, Capmo not only brings on board one of the most experienced global SaaS investors, but also a true expert in construction tech. The team around partner Brian Feinstein has already led the US decacorn Procore to IPO in recent years and sees Capmo on the way to dominate the construction tech market in Europe. „The Capmo team is at the forefront of construction software in Germany. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Capmo in their long-term journey to modernize the construction industry in Europe,“ says Bessemer partner Feinstein.

„We are proud to have won a strong partner in Brian Feinstein and Bessemer Venture Partners, who combine expertise in SaaS and construction tech like no other“, says CEO Florian Biller. „This means we now have the best prerequisites to expand our role as a leading ‚all-in-one‘ provider for construction project management in other European countries as well.“
