Klarsicht Online raises 643,000 euros in pre-seed round

Founder Gabriela Colic wants to combine the quality of local opticians with digital marketplaces. Now there was money.

Klarsicht Online receives 643,000 euros in a pre-seed round. Investors include business angels such as the Gomernik family, which has already invested in several startups, and Markus Weiss, managing partner at Minted. The fund of Ali Rezaei Ashtiani, who co-founded the unicorn Digikala years ago, also invested in Klarsicht Online.

Klarsicht Online provides digital infrastructure to local stores and handles centralized fulfillment functions through its own platform. It says its product range includes 8,300 models from 102 opticians. The money from the financing round is to flow into the further development of the company. In particular, the company's own platform is to be expanded and improved. Sales and communication activities are also to be strengthened.

"We are entering with the bet that local master opticians:inside will lucre a significant part of their business online in the future," says founder Gabriela Colic about the business model of Klarsicht Online. "We want to change consumer behavior with regard to glasses and optician services." Together with David Gevorkian, she founded the company in 2021.
