Index Ventures acquires a stake in Xata

According to its own information, the young Berlin-based start-up has raised five million US dollars in a financing round.
Xata's product is still in the middle of the development phase. Nevertheless, the start-up, whose platform enables developers to distribute so-called serverless or low-code apps, says it has raised five million US dollars. Venture capitalist Index Ventures is leading the round. Operator Collective, SV Angel, XFactor, Firstminute and other business angels also participated.
