100 Worte closes financing round

Software that uses texts to analyze a person's personality - that's what the start-up 100 Worte offers. The idea has now convinced investors.

The AI start-up 100 Worte has completed a seed financing round for an unknown amount. The "Startup Family Office" and existing investors Fabian Bohne, Isar Valley Ventures and other business angels have participated.

100 Worte, also known as 100W, was founded by Simon Tschürtz and Daniel Spitzer in Heilbronn in April 2017. The start-up has developed software that analyzes a person's personality based on a few written words. The technology is based on artificial intelligence and socio-psychological research, according to the company. Companies can use the software in areas such as customer advice, marketing and human resources.

"The capital will primarily be used to improve and expand our solution. In the coming months, we plan to implement additional languages in order to establish 100W outside the German-speaking world," says Managing Director and co-founder Simon Tschürtz. This is the second success story in a short space of time. This year, the start-up had already won the AI Champions Award from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics, Labor and Tourism and the HR Start-up Award from the HR Management Congress.
