3spin raises two million euros

The platform can be used to create training units for VR and AR environments. The money is now set to boost the company's growth.

Darmstadt-based start-up 3spin has landed two million euros in a Series A financing round. Beteiligungs-Managementgesellschaft Hessen and its funds "Hessen Kapital III" and Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Hessen joined in. With "3spin Dream", the young company operates a platform that enables companies, universities or service providers to create employee training and learning courses for virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) environments. The whole thing works without any programming knowledge. The content can be published via the cloud and completed online or offline.

3spin intends to use the money from the investment round to expand its sales structures. VR and AR content will soon also be available for rent - including content in the areas of maintenance processes or occupational health and safety as well as soft skills training. One of the partners in this project is the Dekra testing company. The airline Lufthansa, the energy company E.on and the insurance group Ergo are also working with 3spin.

"Augmented and virtual reality environments allow complex or potentially dangerous learning content to be conveyed from any location in a practical way, making training and education more memorable, safer and more cost-efficient," says Co-CEO Thomas Hoger. Dirk Pieper, Investment Manager at BMH, also believes in the future of the company: "The modern working world is becoming increasingly complex. Companies have to train and educate their employees regularly, often involving high travel costs and time." The application possibilities are incredibly large.

The company 3spin, which is behind the "3spin Dream" platform, was originally founded in 2008 as a technology service provider. The "3spin Dream" learning platform has been developed by Oliver Göck and Thomas Hoger in Darmstadt since 2018. The start-up currently has around 20 employees.
