Mymoria raises 15 million euros

Staying in your own home and digitally planning the funerals of your loved ones - that's what the start-up Mymoria offers. Entrepreneur David Zimmer also participated in the financing round that has now been completed.

Death can also be digitized, as the funeral start-up Mymoria proves. Now the Berlin-based company is raising 15 million euros in a Series C financing round. The family office of founder and entrepreneur David Zimmer called Kalodion and the investment group Egora Holding are leading the round. Also participating are existing investors such as Btov Partners, IBB Ventures and DvH Ventures, which already invested in Mymoria in 2016.

The start-up plans to use the money to expand its offering. Mymoria has been offering digital funeral planning since 2016, and since 2020 has also had boutiques in cities such as Cologne and Munich, offering on-site advice and organisation. "With the additional capital, we want to realize our vision of enabling an equal and extremely high standard of quality for funerals throughout Germany," says founder Björn Wolff.

The investors are also convinced by Mymoria and the special market in which the start-up works: "We have already been at Mymoria's side since 2018 and are constantly surprised by the intensity, speed and joy with which the Mymoria team manages to provide a traditionally shaped market with new impulses and leave its mark," says Nikolaus Zwick from EGORA Holding.
