Coaching app Humanoo raises US$10 million

So far, the start-up has around 300 B2B customers. Humanoo is now planning to expand with the money from the Series B.

The Swiss insurance companies SwissHealth Ventures, the investment arm of the CSS insurance group, Helsana Health Inventures, Sanitas and the Zurich-based VC Verve Ventures as well as the existing investors are investing ten million US dollars in the Berlin start-up Humanoo. The start-up sells an app that enables companies to offer their employees coaching for better physical and mental health. Humanoo claims to have 300 B2B customers to date, including UPS, Coca-Cola and Axel Springer.

"Working models are changing and a decentralized, hybrid model will be the predominant form in the future," says Maximilien Notter, Co-CEO of Humanoo. "This increases the importance of health measures that ensure the health engagement of employees at work and at home." The start-up is trying to close this gap. Last year, the Berlin-based company acquired its French competitor WePulse. Otherwise, Humanoo has primarily been active in the DACH region.

Humanoo currently employs 70 people at its offices in Berlin and Paris. The money from the Series B is now to be invested in expanding the team. The start-up is also announcing further expansion. It has not yet been announced exactly to which countries.
