This well-known investor invests in Filestage

Filestage has completed its Series A financing. The start-up from Stuttgart receives 2.8 million.

The software start-up Filestage has received 2.8 million euros in Series A financing. The main investor is the Dutch VC Newion. The existing investors, High Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) and Seed+Speed from Carsten Maschmeyer, are also participating.

Filestage has built a platform to gather feedback on projects. Users can also work together on documents, videos or websites. "95% of companies still use email and outdated commenting tools such as Adobe Acrobat, MS Office and Dropbox to share and discuss content," says Maschmeyer in a statement. "However, I am convinced that successful companies will invest more and more in online proofing software to avoid email chaos and be effective." Filestage's customers include DM, Lufthansa and Sixt.

"We will use the funding to invest in our product and make existing and new customers even smarter with AI-driven ratings and analytics," says CEO and co-founder Niklas Dorn. "We will continue to invest in integrations and partnerships to ensure seamless customer workflows." Filestage was founded in 2015 by Dorn, Maël Frize and Simon Kontschak. 530,000 people already use the platform.
