We are delighted to see companies raise capital through our investment platform to fulfil their potential and continue to grow. This includes a premium cycling apparel brand, a company that provides comprehensive logistics solutions for e-commerce, and a company that captures reality almost perfectly and translates it into unique digital experiences. But there are also companies that have the same ambition to change the world and are just one step away from closing their investment. Find out which ones below.
Isadore Apparel – from cyclists to cyclists
In March, we successfully closed another investment round for Isadore Apparel. The Velits brothers' brand focuses on the production and distribution of cycling jerseys and accessories. In its sales and marketing strategy, the brand focuses primarily on the DACH region (German-speaking countries) and received the prestigious Euro Effie Awards for its advertising during Tour de France.
Thanks to an initial investment from Crowdberry investors in 2020, the company doubled its revenues. Today it has customers in 80 countries and enjoys strong recognition in the cycling community. World-class cyclists have also worked with the brand, including Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Anna Kiesenhofer. The new investment, which has reached a target of €2.1 million, is intended to strengthen the brand's position primarily in Western European markets and prepare the company for the entry of a foreign investor to help the company expand overseas and in the Asian markets.
