Piccing Inc.: Piccing.com: new photosharing community comes to Germany
(firmenpresse) - (DGAP-Media / 16.12.2013 / 16:18)
Berlin, 16 December 2013
- Start-up from Palo Alto conquers European market and opens office in
Berlin
- Stellar growth and membership figures doubled
- Matching tool 'Picc it. Live it!' launched
Piccing.com (www.piccing.com) is an international social photosharing
community, headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Members give each other
inside tips on locations, fashion trends, lifestyle products, restaurants,
clubs etc. The number of users is in seven figures and has more than
doubled over the last five months. Now the matching tool 'Picc it. Live
it!' is also available: it lets members mark their favourite products in
images and get real-time suggestions for similar products. This links
images with the real world and monetarises them. In the near future members
of Piccing.com will also be able to earn real money by recommending their
favourite products - if a sale is made, the member gets a commission.
'Following our successful launch in America three years ago we are now
seeing a constant rise in the number of users from Europe. So the logical
consequence is that we are now addressing the European market from Berlin,
because Berlin is the start-up capital of Germany and I was able to
experience the vibrant 'old Berlin' when I visited my grandparents there
many years ago', says Dirk Spielmann, founder and CEO of Piccing.com. 'Our
developers in Cape Town, South Africa, are in the process of adding new
features and translating our platform into different languages. The first
will be German, Spanish and French', continues Spielmann.
In addition to its internationalisation, Piccing.com is investing massively
in researching and developing new technologies to ensure it stays
state-of-the-art. 'The topic of mobile first is right at the top of our
agenda. Our new app will have all the familiar functions that our users
already know from the browser version', says Nikolaj Zethraeus, founder and
CFO of Piccing.com. In its latest round of financing the start-up raised a
seven-figure amount from respected private investors and family offices.
