Rightmart raises over 6.5 million euros

The start-up was originally called Atornix and used the financing as an opportunity to change its name. The founding team itself also participated in the financing round.

The Bremen-based legal tech company Rightmart has landed investments of over 6.5 million euros. Auxilia-Rechtsschutz-Versicherungs AG led the round. The Rightmart founding team raised the money itself. As part of the financing, the start-up officially changed its name from Atornix to Rightmart Group.

Marco Klock and Philipp Harsleben founded the company in 2015. Rightmart digitizes legal representation processes. It also aims to reduce inefficiencies in the legal market for consumers. Other areas of application: Rightmart specializes in sales, marketing and the development of business models for law firms.

The start-up states that 54% of households have no legal protection insurance. These consumers rarely assert their rights. Among other things, Rightmart wants to use big data and economies of scale to break down financial barriers. The company has two platforms: Hartz4widerspruch.de and Dieselskandal-helfer.de. Consumers should be able to use these to obtain an automated initial assessment of their case.

The company intends to use the funding to further develop its digital legal services. "With the new funding, we want to create a platform with new business models, financing options, technology and marketing and sales services that will allow law firms to build attractive business cases," says CEO and co-founder Klock. "We are convinced that in five years' time, consumers without legal expenses insurance will also have easy and cost-effective access to the law."
