3spin raises two million euros

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

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

3spin plans to put the money from the investment round into expanding its sales structures. Soon, VR and AR content will also be available for rent - including content in the areas of maintenance processes or occupational health and safety, as well as soft-skill training. One partner in this venture is the Dekra testing company, among others. In addition, the airline Lufthansa, the energy group E.on and the insurance group Ergo, among others, are working together with 3spin.

"Augmented and virtual reality environments allow complex or potentially dangerous learning content to be delivered in a hands-on way from any location, making training and education more memorable, safer and cost-effective," 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 need to train and educate their employees on a regular basis, often associated with high travel costs and time." The application possibilities are incredibly large, he adds.

The company 3spin, which is behind the "3spin Dream" platform, was originally launched 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.
