bmp media investors: bmp invests in komoot GmbH
Berlin, 7 November 2013 - bmp media investors AG (ISIN DE0003304200) has
acquired a 5.34% interest in komoot GmbH in a round of financing. Alongside
bmp media investors, other investors include Mittelständische
Beteiligungsgesellschaft Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH, Potsdam, and KRW
Schindler Investments S.A.,Luxembourg.
komoot GmbH, based in Potsdam, offers an app of the same name for outdoor
activities that allows users to plan and adapt bike rides and hiking
expeditions in line with personal preferences using appropriate routes.
Based on several hundred million data sets, including from OpenStreetMap,
NASA and Wikipedia, and with machine learning from user data, komoot
compiles the best destinations and routes to make personalised suggestions
for outings. In doing this, komoot is the first route planner to also take
into account factors such as types of road, surfaces, inclines, etc.
Users are reliably guided by simple and precise voice instructions;
topographic background maps can also be saved to users' phones, enabling
navigation even in areas without a data network.
Markus Hallermann, Managing Director of komoot GmbH, explained: 'komoot
successfully launched throughout Europe this summer. Using the funds from
the financing, we want to continue to expand our team and position komoot
more prominently on a global stage in the recommendations area.'
Oliver Borrmann, CEO of bmp media investors AG, added: 'With almost two
million downloads since it was founded in 2010, komoot has already
established itself as the favourite app for outdoor activities in Germany.
komoot is now also available in English. We are confident that expanding
the app's regional range will not just make it more attractive for
German-speaking users, but also open up prospects on new markets.'
