Innosabi founders sell majority of their shares

The founders of software start-up Innosabi sell the majority of their shares. A French company makes its move.

The founders of Innosabi from Munich have sold their majority stake in the start-up to the French Questel Group. "By selling the majority stake, we can put our international growth on a larger footing and marry our products with those of Questel in a phenomenal way," co-founder and Managing Director Catharina van Delden told Handelsblatt.

Innosabi offers a platform on which customers can access various sources and information. This is intended to increase the innovation process in companies. Questel also offers such a platform and wants to become a "European champion" for the management of patents with the partial takeover. "What Questel has in terms of patent data and business-relevant information is incredibly valuable in the innovation process and contributes to our vision," van Delden told Handelsblatt.

Innosabi was founded in 2010 as a student project at the Technical University of Munich by van Delden, Jan Fischer, Hans-Peter Heid and Moritz Wurfbaum.
